dc.description.abstractSynthetic fibers, which have many different uses, have replaced natural filling materials as filling fibers in clothing textiles today. In the textile industry, the use of recycling plastics has gained importance due to the difficulties in raw material supply, energy saving and increasing environmental problems. Polycarbonate (PC) is an important engineering plastic with increasing waste due to its use in many industries in recent years. The aim of this study is to produce cotton-like (CL) material from waste PC (wPC) plastic by electrospinning method to be used as filling fiber in outerwear textiles. The synthesized CL-rPC material was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. In addition to these, properties that determine textile comfort such as wettability, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), water adsorption capacity (WAC) and thermal insulation were investigated. Morphological analysis showed that the mostly nano-sized fibers were smooth and bead-free. The mean fiber diameter was determined as 585 +/- 373 nm. The FTIR spectra of the wPC and CL-rPC nano/microfibers (CL-rPC NMFs) were compared and the similarity between them was found to be 98.39%. Water contact angle, WVTR and WAC of CL-rPC NMFs material were measured as 139.15 +/- 0.07 degrees, 6103.41 +/- 117.76 g/m(2)/day and 17.53 +/- 1.81%, respectively. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of CL-rPC NMFs material was determined as 0.0363 +/- 0.0094 W/mK. The results reveal that CL-rPC NMFs material produced from recycled PC can be a potential candidate for filling fiber applications that can provide thermal comfort conditions in outerwear textiles.
