Employment of Waste from the Textile Industry for the Production of Nanocomposites Aiming at the Generation of Thermal Shrinkable Films and the Non-Formation of Microplastics

With the increase of incorrectly discarded materials in environment, including clothes, need for recycling and reusing them becomes one alternatives to work around this problem, following law 3 Rs. However, these polymeric which are deposited marine environment land generate microplastics, due their degradation/fragmentation action weather, regions, being carried by air transported from various regions. aim reducing impact inappropriate disposal obtaining a material that does not study used waste textile industry, would be unusable, biodegradable polymer. The tissue residues were submitted acid hydrolysis with sulfuric acid, order weaken interactions between cellulose fibrils promote better dispersion latter when processed polymer, during extrusion process, generating nanocomposites. results showed samples presented higher degree crystallinity greater number lower mobility hydrogen atoms. In addition, treated longer time small release fibrils, suggesting treatment can help production nanocomposites extrusion.
