Researchers constructed and evaluated nonwoven fabrics containing cotton, focusing on those with cellulose acetate as binder fibers. Modifications to the fibers or processing conditions optimized performance properties. Combinations of cotton and biodegradable thermoplastic fibers resulted in good quality nonwoven fabrics with advantages in molding applications, such as the manufacture of automotive fabrics. Optimal processing conditions included carding and thermal point bonding under low calendering temperatures. samples included Eastman Chemical Company's Eastar Bio copolyester fiber manufactured from conventional diacids and glycols, KoSa's bicomponent fiber with a polyethylene sheath and polyester core, and cotton to form a sandwich of cotton/binder/cotton. ASTM D 3822-91 standards determined tensile properties. 3 refs.
