Jute Needlepunched Nonwovens: Manufacturing, Properties, and Applications

摘要

This paper reviews manufacturing techniques of needlepunched 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 needlepunched 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 scope of potential applications of jute-nonwovens in various field of geotextiles, dry filtration, automotive applications, household goods, agriculture, horticulture, acoustic, and thermal insulation have been revealed.
