At the TITK a process to directly dissolve and dry-wet form cellulose has been established – the Alceru-process (left). Based on this process, to date functional lyocell fibers have been developed. The latest modification (right): By loading with copper ions the fiber Cell Solution Bioactive has a permanently anti-viral effect. (Source: TITK)

Fig. 3: Cradle-to-factory gate GWP of 1 ton staple fiber based on the “cut-off” approach. The error bar shows the results corrected by the “waste valuation” method. The carbon sequestration of bio-based fibers has been taken into account. For “Chem. Recycling (DMT route, POY)”, only the “cut-off” approach was applied. (Source: L. Shen et al.: Open-loop recycling: A LCA case study of PET bottle-to- fibre recycling, Resources, Conservation and Recycling 55 (2010) 34-52)

Auxetic membranes made of nanofibers for medical applications

A material that thickens when you pull on it seems to contradict the laws of physics. However, the so-called auxetic effect, which also occurs in nature, is interesting for a number of applications. A new study by Empa shows how this amazing behavior can be improved – and even used to treat injuries and tissue damage. »
