There is an emerging environmental awareness and social concern regarding the environmental impact of the textile industry, highlighting the growing need for developing green and sustainable approaches throughout this industry’s supply chain. Upstream, due to population growth and the rise in consumption of textile fibers, new sustainable raw materials and processes must be found. Cellulose presents unique structural features, being the most important and available renewable resource for textiles. The physical and chemical modification reactions yielding fibers are of high commercial importance today. Recently developed technologies allow the production of filaments with the strongest tensile performance without dissolution or any other harmful and complex chemical processes. Fibers without solvents are thus on the verge of commercialization. In this review, the technologies for the production of cellulose-based textiles, their surface modification and the recent trends on sustainable cellulose sources, such as bacterial nanocellulose, are discussed. The life cycle assessment of several cellulose fiber production methods is also discussed.

“…Most regenerated and synthetic fibers are manufactured as filaments. Distinct methods of drawing, spinning, and twisting, chosen according to the type of fiber, are used to form a continuous strand of yarn ( Sinclair, 2015 ). The filament produced can be used as is, or can be cut into staple fibers.…”

“…Entender tais aspectos proporcionam assertividade na escolha da melhor matéria-prima para o produto têxtil final. O Quadro 2 indica a categorização de algumas propriedades das fibras relacionadas ao seu desempenho, que serão detalhadas em seguida (ELMOGAHZY, 2009a;SINCLAIR, 2015 Trata-se da mensuração estimada do diâmetro. A unidade primária é o tex que representa o peso em gramas para 1.000 metros de fibra ou fio.…”

“…A resposta de uma fibra ao calor depende da sua composição química, uma vez que as manufaturadas sintéticas amolecem e depois derretem e as fibras não termoplásticas tendem a carbonização, tornando-se frágil quando expostas a altas temperaturas (SINCLAIR, 2015 A maioria dos materiais, naturais ou sintéticos queima quando expostos a altas temperaturas e a resposta de um polímero a esta exposição depende de sua formulação e a configuração de sua finalidade de uso (EBEWELE, 2000).…”

“…Independente da raça da ovelha, entre elas a Merino, Lincoln ou Sussex, as propriedades químicas e sua morfologia são similares(KUFFNER; POPESCU, 2012;SINCLAIR, 2015).Entretanto em outras famílias de mamíferos existem animais com potencial para a extração da lã. Alguns deles são: a Família dos camelídeos (alpacas, camelos e vicunha); Família dos Caprinos (mohair, cashmere); Família dos Bovinos (Yak) e os coelhos para obtenção do angorá(NAYAK;PADHYE; FERGUSSON, 2012; TRIDICO, 2009).De acordo comTridico (2009), todas as fibras de cabelo de mamíferos são similares em sua estrutura química e comportamento físico, diferenciando-se em pequenos detalhes entre as espécies.…”

Microplastics and their Additives in the Indoor Environment

Analyses of air and house dust have shown that pollution of the indoor environment with microplastics could pose a fundamental hygienic problem. Indoor microplastics can result from abrasion, microplastic beads are frequently added to household products and microplastic granules can be found in artificial turf for sports activities and in synthetic admixtures in equestrian hall litter. In this context, the question arose as to what extent particulate emissions of thermoplastic materials from 3D printing should be at least partially classified as microplastics or nanoplastics. The discussion about textiles as a possible source of indoor microplastics has also been intensified. This Minireview gives an overview of the current exposure of residents to microplastics. Trends can be identified from the results and preventive measures can be derived if necessary. It is recommended that microplastics and their additives be given greater consideration in indoor environmental surveys in the future.
