Well done @AVPalaciosMarin (Ph.D. student, @UoLDesign, )
All textiles release fibre fragments (microplastics). At @UniversityLeeds, we (@AVPalaciosMarin, @abduljabbarte, @taucif ) created bespoke polyester and cotton textiles from three yarn structures and quantified shed fragmented fibres & length distribution.journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.….
