Investigating the Properties of Wet-Laid Nonwoven Made from Mechanically Fibrillated Jute Fiber
The jute fibers have been mechanically fibrillated, and the wet-laid nonwoven fabrics have been manufactured using these fibers at two different concentrations of binder. The mechanically fibrillated states from non-fibrillated and partially fibrillated to highly fibrillated are considered at differ...

| Summary: | The jute fibers have been mechanically fibrillated, and the wet-laid nonwoven fabrics have been manufactured using these fibers at two different concentrations of binder. The mechanically fibrillated states from non-fibrillated and partially fibrillated to highly fibrillated are considered at different lengths of fibers such as 5 and 10 mm to 15 mm. The tensile strength, air permeability, and the acoustic property of formed web are analyzed. There is no significant effect of fiber fibrillation found on the tensile properties of the manufactured wet-laid web, while there is an effect of fiber fibrillation observed on air permeability. |
