A roll-to-roll chitosan finishing strategy for elastane recovery
Roll-to-roll dip-coating of elastane with a dissolvable chitosan layer is introduced to enable recovery from fiber blends. This approach targets key recycling barriers, preserves elastane integrity, and may aid separation from mixed textile waste.
