  Reusing Composite Fabrics Made of Polyester and Cotton
  Author(s): Yongping Liao*
  
  Reusing polyester/cotton blend fabrics for composites offers an innovative and sustainable approach to materials engineering and recycling. These blended fabrics, typically composed of a combination of polyester and cotton fibers, are abundant in various textiles, from clothing to household linens. By repurposing these materials for composite applications, we can not only divert textile waste from landfills but also harness the unique properties of both polyester and cotton to create composite materials with a balance of strength and flexibility. Polyester contributes high tensile strength and resistance to moisture and chemicals, making it a valuable component in composite fabrication. Cotton, on the other hand, brings natural breathability and comfort to the blend. When these fabrics are recycled and processed into composite materials, the resulting composites inherit a combination .. Read More»
