Handbook of textile Nonwovens

There are two methods of fabric formation: Conventional is the process of from Fiber to Yarn to Fabric. For Examples: Weaving interlacing of warp and weft threads and Knitting inter-looping of yarns in a variety of ways. Nonconventional is the process of from Fiber to Fabric or polymer chips to fabric. Non-woven by bonding of fiber webs in different ways. There are different definitions for nonwovens. However, generally we understood that: Nonwovens are a sheet, webs or batt of directionally or randomly oriented fibers bonded together by means of mechanical, thermal or chemical bonding. There are different classifications of nonwoven based on web formations, according to fiber arrangements, according to bond formation and others. There are different types of textile and non-textile material for nonwovens. Webs are formed in different ways and this web is bonded by using mechanical, chemical and thermal ways. these bonded fabrics can be finished in different ways based on end applications. non-woven fabric used in different applications areas.
