Study of the Frictional Properties of Needlepunched Nonwoven Fabrics

S. S. Ramkumar, Nichole A. Hester and A. P. S. Sawhney


 
ABSTRACT

Nonwoven fabrics have several high-tech and specialty applications. The friction and hand-related properties of nonwoven fabrics play very important roles in day-to-day applications. Frictional properties of a set of nonwoven fabrics were evaluated using a simple apparatus. Results presented in this paper indicate that the sliding friction apparatus is a very reliable and useful tool for the evaluation of the frictional properties of nonwoven fabrics.
