Abstract
The present research project is aimed to study the following topics:
1) Evaluation of microfiber release during washing of laminates for Sports / Outdoor. Results will gather more information about potential parameters to reduce microfiber release and to improve cooperation with Outdoor Industry.
2) Development of coatings with natural polysaccharide to be applied at pilot scale on laminates to reduce microfiber release.
