Title: Outlook for Man-Made Fibres and Technical Textiles: Report from the 50th Dornbirn Congress
Published: February, 2012
Pages: 20
Price: US$ 520
The newly published report reviews and analyses several papers presented at the 50th Dornbirn Man-Made Fibers congress, held in September 2011, on the key topics, including:
-
cotton and man-made fibre demand to 2060 by country and region, and future limitations on the supply of cotton;
- reviews of some of the latest developments in cellulosic fibres, biopolymers and polyester recycling from a number of companies, including Advansa, DuPont, Filature Miroglio, Hohenstein Institute, Kelheim, Lenzing, NatureWorks, RadiciGroup, Rhodia, RWTH Aachen University, STFI and TITK;
- outlook for the future which looks at the role of green chemistry and the future challenges facing the man-made fibre industry.
