Development and Mechanical Characterization of Needle-punched Kapok-Flax Nonwovens for Technical Uses

In this study, sandwich nonwoven fabrics containing raw kapok and flax fibers were developed and produced on a needle-punching processing line for agrotextile/geotextile applications. A two-step approach has been devised to produce nonwovens with compatible mechanical performance. Different structur...
