Cotton

Developed by the Dezhou Polytechnic University

Nonwoven cotton

Technology protects the safety of soldiers in chemical and biological warfare, and this product can also serve as an ideal sponge for absorbing oil in the Gulf of Mexico.


After the explosion of the deepwater oil drilling platform, oil continues to flow. A Nonwovens Technology expert at Dezhou Polytechnic University said that the oil absorbing material we developed could be better than the products made of synthetic materials.


  

Environmental Science

Ramkumar Seshadri, an associate professor of nonwovens at the TIEHH School of human health, said that in order not to let oil flow into the Gulf, millions of feet of oil have been laid out, but the synthetic materials are used, which do not degrade, and the oil absorption rate is only 1/3 of raw cotton.

The oil absorption rate of raw cotton can reach 40 times of its own weight.

After chemical treatment,

oil absorption rate

It may reach 70 times its own weight.

And this material will not remain in the landfill forever.


Ramkumar's research focuses on the development of value-added materials using nonwoven materials and nanotechnology.

He supervised non-woven fabrics and advanced materials laboratories at TIEHH.


He was the inventor of several nonwoven cotton technologies, including FibertectTM, which now uses the technology he invented.

He and his graduate group are studying how to use low quality cotton in clothing production.


Ramkumar said: the American nonwovens industry has excellent technology to develop natural fiber absorbent liners, such as cotton.
