Augmented geotextiles: A new frontier in selective removal of chemicals from aqueous solutions
August 28th, 2023
With increasing environmental concerns over water pollution and the need for sustainable water management, the development of advanced filtration technologies has become a priority. Augmented geotextiles are an emerging type of functionalized filter media (FFM) and represent a ground-breaking innovation in the field of geotextiles. These novel materials are based on conventional polyethylene terephthalate (PET) […]
Pathway to truly sustainable geotextiles
June 6th, 2023
For several geotextile applications, longevity and durability are important factors in order to fulfill their function in soil reinforcement and protection. However, geotextiles with a much shorter life-span, which are designed to degrade after a certain time period, are in demand. Biodegradable geotextiles are perfect for applications where once they have completed their task they […]
