Utilisation of waste wool through fabrication of 3D water-resistant polyvinyl alcohol composite: Impact of micro-sized wool powders

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a biodegradable polymer that has applications in several industries, such as textiles and paper manufacturing. Due to the water solubility, it is also a useful solvent in 3D dispensing to extrude printable solutions at a low temperature. However, its hydrophilicity is a dr...
