The Textile Matrix: Modeling, Measuring, and Mitigating Textile Microfiber Pollution - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In The Textile Matrix, Dr. Damon Rahimi Fard delivers a comprehensive, technically rigorous investigation into one of the most critical environmental vectors of our time: synthetic polymer fragmentation and microfiber leakage.

Building upon foundational environmental forensic frameworks, this monograph bridges the gap between materials science, hydrological modeling, and industrial policy to provide actionable solutions for researchers, engineers, and policymakers.

• Mechanisms of Degradation & Transport: Deep-dive analysis into the physical, thermodynamic, and mechanical pathways of polymer failure across marine, aquatic, and atmospheric sinks.
• Somatic Infiltration & Biological Risks: Detailed examination of micro- and nanoplastic translocation across biological barriers, cellular toxicity mechanisms, and "Trojan Horse" chemical vector effects.
• The Domestic Emission Engine: Quantitative modeling of consumer laundering and tumble-drying dynamics, including two-phase kinetic shedding models and lint-filter bypass mechanics.
• Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD): Cutting-edge material engineering approaches, from next-generation biopolymers (PHAs, PLA, Lyocell) to advanced cross-linked biopolymer surface coatings.
• Analytical & Chemometric Frontiers: High-resolution spectroscopy (Micro-FTIR, Raman, Pyr-GC-MS), automated GEPARD pipelines, and AI-driven computer vision taxonomy.
• Molecular Recycling & Global Governance: Industrial circularity pathways, chemical depolymerization, Digital Product Passports (DPPs), and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks.

Whether you are an environmental scientist, materials engineer, textile designer, or policy strategist, The Textile Matrix offers an indispensable computational and systemic roadmap to achieve engineered molecular erasure of synthetic contaminants.
