Application of biopolymers in clothing and fashion

Abstract

The use of biopolymer fibres in textile technology predates written human history. Researchers and academics are looking at plant fabrics for potential use in cutting-edge technologies because of their low environmental impact and long lifespan. The use of nonbiodegradable petrochemical materials in fast fashion's trendy, low-priced clothes has increased in frequency. The development, manufacturing, and disposal of these materials have all contributed to environmental degradation. Materials that incorporate biopolymers are often promoted as biobased, biodegradable, or possessing all of these qualities. Biopolymers textiles with improved degradability performance are reviewed, as is the utilisation of this intelligent bio textile as a low or no-cost replacement for commercial chemical-based textiles. This book will also explain how these cutting-edge modelling techniques might help polymer designers settle on the most optimal solution. In addition to reducing expenditures on resources, production, and processing, the entirely biodegradable polymers also provide support for the textiles industry, Biodegradable polymers' recent advancement and prospective future uses and trends in the contemporary biodegradable textiles industry will be discussed. The transition from synthetic to bio-based materials is inevitable, although it is happening slowly due to technological hurdles. The use of biopolymers offers several benefits, including the manufacture of an eco-friendly final product and lightweight textiles with cheap production costs. A lot of work has gone into making bio-textiles that can meet the needs of the future, like ensuring their superiority in all respects and acquiring textile substrates with prospective capabilities like antimicrobial, fireproof, resistant to ultraviolet light, conductive to electricity, and very hydrophobic. We'll be discussing we'll examine how eco-friendly biopolymers can be incorporated at various points in the textile production process. Biopolymers are more environmentally conscientious than other cutting-edge technologies because they could help future generations save money, energy, and raw resources.
