A Review on Jute Nonwovens: Manufacturing, Properties and Applications

摘要

This paper reviews various manufacturing techniques of nonwoven fabrics from jute fiber and jute waste. It has been seen that needle-punching process is mostly used for manufacturing nonwoven structure from jute fiber. Various physical, mechanical and functional properties of needle-punched jute-nonwovens have been discussed here. The influence of various factors on various properties of jute-nonwoven such as Thermal Insulation, Air Permeability, Compressibility, Water Absorbency and Acoustic Insulation has been reported. A huge growth of potential applications of jute-nonwovens in various field of Geotextiles, Dry filtration, Automotive applications, Household goods, Agriculture and Horticulture, Acoustic and Thermal insulation have been observed.
