MSE 554 - NONWOVENS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY II: Inter-relations between mechanics of production and mechanical properties of nonwoven fabrics; characterization of fiber morphology and web structure; chemistry of nonwoven binders and finishes; and engineering of specific fabric properties. Emphasis on the advances in the technology of nonwovens, comparison of the various modern production techniques and their special advantages and disadvantages.
Students:
Semester Project (Spring 2004): To update the original website with the developments in the recent years on polymers and fibers for nonwovens, formation of nonwovens, finishing and bonding, and applications of the nonwovens. This is compiled by the students in this semester.
