The project ran between May and November 2024.
The aim of this project was to evaluate and develop bio-based thermoplastic polymers for high value applications in technical textiles, based on their potential piezoelectric characteristics. Our results indicate that there exist several promising candidate materials, including biopolyesters and odd-numbered biopolyamides, which were suitable for melt spinning and for use in practical applications including bio-based e-textiles, air filtration and “smart” composites.
Participants
