...Viju Subramoniapillai; Harish Karthik Deivasigamani Purpose This research aims to focus on the development of thermal insulation materials through the incorporation of aerogels from sugarcane bagasse into nonwoven fabrics prepared from recycled fibrous waste, such as recycled wool, denim shoddy...

... fibers in developing various technical textile products. This study aims to develop needle-punched nonwoven fabrics from recycled polyester fibers and investigate its suitability in oil spill cleanup process. Design/methodology/approach According to Box and Behnken factorial design, 15 different...

...Gnanauthayan G.; Rengasamy R.S.; Vijayakumar Kothari Purpose This paper aims to deal with the thermal resistance of multilayer nonwovens. The effect of fibre denier, cross-sectional shape and positioning within the layers were analysed with respect to the thermal resistance. Moreover, effect...

...Sajid Ahmed Qureshi; Alhayat Getu Temesgen The current research deals with an analysis of stress relaxation in nonwoven fabrics with different gsm values with a view to understand how these nonwovens behave under an applied stress for a given load over a constant period of time. An electronic...

...Ludovic Koehl; Ting Chen; Philippe Vroman; Xianyi Zeng This paper, which deals with the forecasting of nonwovens end-uses, is divided in two parts. The first part presents optimized methods for measuring the structures of nonwovens. The raw data are extracted directly from 3D images of the accurate...

...Frankie M.C. Ng; Winson Y.W. Kho The earliest concept of spunlacing (also known as hydroentanglement): using water jets to entangle fibres to form non-woven fabrics, was conceived as early as 1950s. Like other nonwoven fabrics, spunlaced non-woven fabrics are not made of yams, but directly from...
