“…Nonwoven fabrics, which correspond to sheet or web structures bonded together by entangling filaments or fibers, are one of the oldest and simplest textile fabrics. Nonwoven fabrics were utilized mainly in protective clothing . However, in recent years, a nonwoven industry has grown abruptly and now started to find its application in other various industries.…”

Phone: þ82 10 8428 0883, Fax: þ82 2 2220 2294We fabricated multiple-layered nonwoven multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) sheets by means of treating MWCNTs with a spark plasma sintering process. We characterized the samples by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and the field effect mobility method. Each thin nonwoven MWCNT layer is mainly comprised of interlocked, intertwined, or interconnected MWCNTs. XRD and Raman spectra coincidentally revealed that the graphitization occurred in the course of transformation from pristine to nonwoven MWCNTs. The multiple-layered nonwoven MWCNTs showed a higher electrical conductance than a single-layered nonwoven MWCNTs sheet.

Development and refinement of laboratory tests to prescreen barrier fabrics and predict performance in the field are important, since field studies are 1) expensive and time-consuming, and 2) variables such as wind, humidity, and sunlight are impossible to control. The purpose of this study was to determine the reproducibility of the spray penetration tests to prescreen fabrics as barriers to pesticide penetration with the UNCG-Clemson spray box. Tests were made to measure the effects of two exposure times, six pressures, and four sample locations on the deposition of water sprayed on gauze samples positioned on each of four vertical arm test sites. The highest reproducibility of the UNCG-Clemson spray box was found in a spraying condition at 206.8 or 275.7 kPa and 85 seconds exposure with water (CV=4%, SD=0.0041) and 0.125% atrazine (AAtrex Nine-O®) solution.
