Course content
1. Structure of nonwovens (lecture 1-2); Structure parameters, structure of bonding points, fiber orientation in the area, fiber orientation in 3D fibrous structures. 2. Fibrous and nonfibrous materials in nonwovens (lecture 3-4); Fiber parameters, binder parameters and parameters of additives, methods of adjustments. 3. Mechanical properties of nonwovens (lecture 5-6); composite behavior of special technical textiles, effect of fiber orientation. 4. Adhesion (lecture 7-8); Adhesion theory, adhesion of liquids to solids, measurement methods. 5. Wetting of nonwovens (lecture 9-10); Dynamic of liquid penetration into fibrous materials, one fiber wetting, wetting of fiber bundle. 6. Transport properties of nonwovens (lecture 11-12); permeability of fibrous layers, porosity and effect of pore size; filtration properties. 7. Simulation of relation between structure and properties of nonwovens (lecture 13-14); Simulation model based on Automodels description; Simulation of Wetting of one fiber, fiber bundle and nonwoven (by modified Ising model); fluid flow through filter (by cellular automata), effect of fiber orientation to transport properties.

  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to find and understand the relationship between the properties, materials and structure of nonwovens. Knowledge of the relationship structure and material properties of nonwovens is necessary to develop new products, but also helps in the design of new testing methods. Course contents can be divided into 7 chapters.
Experience with structure, wetting and mechanical behaviour of nonwovens.
