More Information
Summary:Methods for manufacturing durable goods from used textiles, and the articles made according to the methods, are provided. In an exemplary method used textiles are obtained, sorted, washed and dried. The used textiles are cut into suitable pieces, or joined into larger sections then cut into suitable pieces, then combined with a suitable resin in a mold. The resin is then cured. Curing can be photoinitiated by exposure to a suitable type of radiation, or thermally initiated by heating. At least some of the mold can be transparent to the suitable radiation where the curing is photoinitiated. L'invention concerne des procédés de fabrication de produits durables à partir de textiles usagés, et les articles fabriqués selon les procédés. Dans un procédé donné à titre d'exemple, des textiles usagés sont obtenus, triés, lavés et séchés. Les textiles usagés sont découpés en morceaux appropriés, ou réunis en sections plus grandes puis découpés en morceaux appropriés, puis combinés avec une résine appropriée dans un moule. La résine est ensuite durcie. Le durcissement peut être photoamorcé par exposition à un type approprié de rayonnement, ou amorcé thermiquement par chauffage. Au moins une partie du moule peut être transparente au rayonnement approprié où le durcissement est photoamorcé.
