“…An interesting material combination was suggested by Chuang et al who prepared PET/PET fiber/matrix composites with woven carbon, aramid, and basalt fabrics [ 62 ]. They combined recycled high-strength polyester with low-melting point polyester, needle-bonded them to form multilayer fabrics on both sides of a woven fabric, and used hot-pressing to form a composite bonded by the low-melting point polyester.…”

Stab-resistant garments have been used for centuries, utilizing metals, paper, or polymeric structures, often inspired by natural structures such as scales. Nowadays, stab-resistant vests or vest inserts are used by police and security personnel, but also by bus drivers, ambulance officers, and other people who are empirically often attacked on duty. Since stab protection garments are often heavy and thus uncomfortable and not well accepted, whether in the form of chain-mail or metal inserts in protective vests, researchers are striving to find lightweight, drapable alternatives, often based on polymeric materials. These research attempts have recently focused on textile fabrics, mostly with impregnation by shear-thickening fluids (STFs) or ceramic coatings, as well as on lightweight composites. The first studies on 3D printed polymeric objects with tailored shapes, as well as theoretical investigations of the stab-protective effect of different materials, have been published throughout the last years. Here, we discuss different measurement methods, including dynamic and quasistatic methods, and correlations of stab-resistance with other physical properties, before we give an overview of recent developments of stab-resistant polymers, using different materials/material combinations and structures.

Increasing demand for non-biodegradable plastics undesirably leads to their accumulation and calls for an appropriate solution for this global crisis. Environmental impacts of PET waste have long been addressed; although some remedies have been proposed, their extensive use in the modern world use demands new studies and recycling techniques. It shows the inadequacy of previous solutions to eliminate this environmental problem. Therefore, researching this subject should not be considered an insignificant issue. Distinctively, this review article has a specific reliance on the use of recycled PET fibers in the production of high-consumption and value-added products that, in addition to considering environmental aspects, can also be attractive to the market. This article deals with recent studies in three product categories (concrete, nonwoven fabrics, yarns) made from recycled PET fibers and shows the high potential of PET fibers for the future industry.

“…The study of Chuang et al [ 66 ] aimed to recycle high strength polyester (PET) waste fibers, in view of possible recovery for cheaper high-performance materials useful in the fields of protective cloths or geotextiles. Recycled high-strength PET selvages were combined with low melting and woven fabrics in hybrid fibrous planks by a thermal process.…”

This work aimed to review the recent scientific research, focused on the application of recycled fibers, taken from textile waste, in the field of composite materials to fulfill the eco-sustainability requirements of textile manufacturing, and promote actions for a circular economy. The yarns and fabric production represent one of the most polluting processes of the industrial world. The harmful environmental impact of the textile process has been described by reporting the different treatments involving the raw material and the filament fabrication, and concerning the uses of insecticides, fertilizers, and many other chemicals for improving the quality of the final products. In addition, solid textile waste constituted a further additional issue for the environmental sustainability of fabric production. Various strategies have been discussed and in part already adopted by many companies to recover waste fibers and prevent them from ending up in landfills. The alternatives of fiber recycling for composite realization have been presented by reporting several recent studies involving the uses of recycled fibers from the textile waste embedded in different matrices: thermoplastic polymer, thermosetting resins, natural constituents, and concrete in light of specific applications.
