The objective of this Engage project is to develop a green durable water repellent (DWR) that has performance**similar to non-green DWRs. lululemon is interested in improving the sustainability of their waterproofing**methods. Certain natural oils have been shown to exhibit both water-repellent and oil-repellent properties, but**exactly how these natural products achieve this repellency is not fully understood. Dr. Golovin's group will**investigate how reactive molecules derived from natural oils can be used as a green DWR alternative for**lululemon. In the first half of the project, the natural oils will be down-selected for their repellency properties.**In the second half, the durability towards repeated laundering and mechanical wear will be investigated.**The expected outcome is a DWR textile finish that is bio-based but still can repel oils like current**non-bio-based finishes. This is important to lululemon because they view sustainability as one of their key**market differentiators. Canadians will also benefit by reducing the nation's overall environmental impact, and**keeping drinking water safe for Canadians (current DWR chemistries do not break down in nature and are**found in water supplies).**Other

该Engage项目的目标是开发一种绿色耐久防水剂（DWR），其性能 ** 与非绿色DWR相似。lululemon对提高其防水方法的可持续性很感兴趣。某些天然油已被证明具有防水和防油特性，但这些天然产品如何达到这种排斥性还没有完全了解。Golovin博士的研究小组将研究如何将天然油脂中的活性分子用作lululemon的绿色DWR替代品。在项目的前半部分，天然油将根据其防水性能进行筛选。**在后半部分，将研究对反复洗涤和机械磨损的耐久性。预期的结果是DWR纺织品整理，是生物基的，但仍然可以排斥油一样，目前 ** 非生物基整理。这对lululemon很重要，因为他们将可持续发展视为其关键的 ** 市场差异化因素之一。加拿大人也将受益于减少国家的整体环境影响，** 保持加拿大人的饮用水安全（目前的DWR化学物质不会在自然界中分解，并且 ** 在供水中发现）。其他
