Fiber and Textile Applications

PD has interesting applications, such as adhesives, resins, detergents, cosmetics, to produce biocides for industrial sterilization, and in animal feed. The large-scale production of 1,3-PD by companies, such as Shell, resulted in the commercialization of 1,3-PD-based polyester with excellent properties for fiber and textile applications (direct fermentation Papanikolaou et al., 2000 Zeng and Biebl, 2002).
