Unsteady-state Liquid Transport in Engineered Nonwoven Fabrics having Patterned Structure

While patterned nonwoven fabrics have been used in healthcare products dealing with fluid, the influence of the patterned fabric structural parameters on the directional fluid transport in such patterned fabrics has never been investigated, so little is know about how to engineering design such patterned fabric to have desired directional liquid transport properties.

This paper is the first research paper to model the directional fluid flow of fabrics having special patterns of local fabric density. The prediction of the preferential fluid behaviour will contribute to the growing demand for fabrics used to control fluid emissions both in the healthcare sector and increasingly in more general use.

This paper was the second by Dr. Mao to be selected from over 200 conference papers to be one of the seven published in this journal.
