Sorption kinetics and capacity of high of cotton fabrics

The study of a liquid behaviour inside textiles is important for using this materials. Sorption kinetics and capacity are studied in this contribution. Perpendicular laid textile structures Struto are compared with cross-laid and needle punched nonwovens. Studied materials were produced from 50% of bi-component bonding fibres and 50% of b..

Fluid imbibition behavior of nonwovens containing cellulose acetate and its blends with synthetic and other cellulosic fibers

Among the fibers used widely for absorbent applications are cotton, pulp and rayon, all largely cellulosic. One common attribute these materials provide is hydrophilicity which is needed in order to attract, imbibe, and hold fluid in the structure. The objectives of this were to examine the effects produced by some of the important proces..

Statistics-- Fibre Consumption for Technical Textiles in Western Europe

Fiber consumption in Western Europe, driven by an 801 percent growth achieved in 1997. Industrial fabric applications accounted for 21 percent of total fiber conumption in Western Europe. Increased consumption of polyester fibers by the tire industry increased overall fiber consumption by 5.1 percent. Consumption of cellulosic filament an..

Prospects for Nonwovens in Selected Emerging Asia-Pacific Markets.

An overview of nonwoven fabric markets in the Asian and Pacific regions focuses on emergine markets in the People's Republic of China, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Nonwoven roll goods sales in these markets amounted to approximately 9 percent of world consumption, or $810 million, in 1999. These five markets will ac..

Top Companies and Events in the Nonwovens Industry

Despite increases in consolidation and competition in the nonwovens industry, manufacturers continues to expand and grow through capital investments, capacity expansions, joint ventures, and acquisitions. Despite being a maturing market, the growth potential of nonwoven fabrics in the United States, Europea, and Japan lies in emerging mar..

The World Nonwovens Industry: Part 1-- The Leading Ten Producers.

World nonwoven roll good sales reached $9.76 billion in 1999. Forty manufacturers accounted for 90 percent of world sales with ten manufacturers, (Freudenberg, Du Pont, BBA Nonwovens, PGI Nonwovens, Kimberly-Clark, Johns Manville, Ahlstrom/Dexter, Japan Vilene, Buckeye Technologies, and Colbond) accounting for 64 percent of world sales. F..

Modern Concepts for Fibre Opening and Blending Systems to Fulfill the Requirements of Today's High Capacity Nonwoven Lines.

TEMAFA GmbH manufactures a variety of opening and blending machines to meet the needs of different web forming and bonding technologies. TEMAFA offers componenets independent (batch blending) and component dependent blending systems with weighing feeders. Batch blending ensures a homogeneous blend of fibers independent of the number of co..

Nonwoven fabric

The claim refers to a nonwoven fabric which consists of a blend of superabsorbent fibres and thermoplastic fibres, eg bicomponent polypropylene. The fabric is heated to fuse the fibres preferably in discrete zones throughout the fabric. The fabric is capable of absorbing many times its weight of aqueous liquid without losing its integrity..

Nonwoven fabric

The production and construction of a bonded yarn fabric for use as a wet-end papermakers' fabric are claimed. A sheath/core yarn with a core having a higher melting point than the sheath is used and the array of yarns is passed through a roller nip, where excess melted sheath material is forced into lateral grooves in the roller to form s..

Controlled Fabrication of Nanoporous Membrane Using beta-Ray Irradiation.

Researchers prepared nanoporous membranes from the self assembled film of a diblock copolymer consisting of polyvinylethylene (PVE) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Decomposition and selective removal of the backbones of PMMA via beta-irradiation and soaking in ethl lactate provided a porous membrane consisting of crosslinked PVE with ..
