...Kawaljit Singh Randhawa Purpose This study aims to develop a sustainable route for the upcycling of aluminium and nylon waste into high-performance metal-polymer composites. The work focuses on evaluating the mechanical, tribological and thermal behaviour of a nylon–reinforced aluminium composite...

...Mohammad Irfan; Aiqin Gao; Aiqin Hou Purpose Reactive dyes are believed to have great potential for nylon dyeing, but these anionic dyes tend to rush toward the nylon at the beginning of the process, resulting in uneven dyeing. Achieving uniformity gets even harder when the dyeing is performed...

... fabrics. Herein, ultrafine TiO2 and nano-antimony doped tin dioxide (ATO) were prepared and embedded into water-based polyurethane (PU) coatings and then coated on the nylon fabric. Design/methodology/approach ATO was prepared using the sol–gel method and the two powders were dispersed by ball milling...

... dose and treatment time. The data were discussed using the Langmuir and Freundlich Models of adsorption. Practical implications The reuse of hydrolyzed reactive dyebaths gives reasonably good fastness properties on nylon fabrics. Social implications The study has enabled the production...
