Researchers investigating the influence of cotton content on the degradability of nonwoven fabrics compared the physical and morphological properties of three nonwoven fiber webs (Hydroentangled cotton, polyproplene microporous film/hydroentangled cotton, and polypropylene microporous film/spun bonded polypropylene) subjected to one of three treatment conditions for up to 16 weeks: outdoor composting in a tumbler, heat and moisture in an oven, and a standard textile testing environment. A series of laboratory tests measured tensile strength, elongation, and fabric surface discoloration and damage. Composting biodegraded the cotton containing nonwoven fabrics more than the polypropylene nonwoven fabrics. Microbial activity greatly affected the tensile strength and elongation of all fabrics. 16 refs.
