“…Nonwoven fabrics can be made by various manufacturing processes, such as needle-punch, spunlace, spun-bond, meltblow, and electrospun [1,2], and can use various materials and manufacturing parameters as required. As a result, nonwoven fabrics can be applied as geotextiles [3], wound dressings [4], and sound absorbent, thermally-insulating, puncture resistant, and bulletproof materials [5][6][7].…”

Abstract. Nonwoven fabrics have merits, and for example, they can be simply and quickly processed with a variety of materials and an easily changeable manufacturing process. This study aims to examine the influences of the addition of sodium alginate (SA) and the concentration of calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) on the properties of the composite nonwoven fabrics. Chitosan (CS) micro-particles and SA solution are cross-linked with CaCl 2 with various concentrations, combined with far-ir heat preservative staples (FT)/cotton (C) nonwoven fabrics, and then freeze-dried to form CS/SA/FT/C composite nonwoven fabrics. Afterwards, physical property tests are performed on the resulting composite nonwoven fabrics to determine their properties as related to various concentrations of CaCl 2 . The addition of SA decreases the water vapor permeability of FT/C nonwoven fabrics by 15 %, but the concentrations of CaCl 2 do not influence the water vapor permeability. Compared to FT/C nonwoven fabrics, CS/SA/FT/C composite nonwoven fabrics have significantly lower water absorbency and water vapor permeability, but a greater stiffness.
