Permeability in Engineered Non-woven Fabrics Having Patterned Structure

While patterned nonwoven fabrics have been widely used in healthcare products, the influence of fabric structural parameters of such patterned fabrics on its permeability, an important property for indicating fluid transport in fabrics, was not studied before. This paper is the first to characterise the structure of the nonwoven fabrics having variation of densities and to quantify its directional permeability. Part of this paper was originally published in an international conference and it was one of seven papers selected from over 200 conference papers to be published in this journal.

The work is important for the engineering design of technical textile products in terms of realising better performance of fluid transport in fabrics, this would help improve a lot of prudtcs performance such as the comfort of patterned nonwoven fabrics used in protective clothing, wipes, healthcare products, wound dressings, tissue engineering and others.
