Durable Nonwoven Fabrics via Fracturing Bicomponent Islands-in-the-Sea Filaments

This paper deals in general with fabrics consisting of bicomponent fibers that are fractured/fibrillated and bonded using mechanical and/or thermal means to form micro-denier fibers. Bicomponent filaments produced by the spunbonding process, where two polymers are co-extruded to form a fiber are use...
