A meltblown nonwoven formed from a bicomponent fiber, wherein: the bicomponent fiber has a first region and a second region, the first region is formed from a first composition comprising at least 75 wt. % of a polypropylene; the second region is formed from a second composition comprising at least 75 wt. % of an ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer.

Nonwoven fabrics are provided that include a mechanically entangled blend of fibers comprising (a) post-consumer recycled polymer staple fibers (PCR-staple fibers) and (b) one or more additional fibers, in which the one or more additional fibers are different than the PCR-staple fibers. The PCR-staple fibers are mechanically entangled with the one or more additional fibers to define the nonwoven fabric.

Fabrics are provided that include mono-component staple fibers, a first group of split staple fibers comprising a first polymeric material, and a second group of split staple fibers comprising a second polymeric material that is different than the first polymeric material. The mono-component staple fibers, the first group of split staple fibers, and the second group of split staple fibers are physically entangled together to define a consolidated nonwoven. The fabrics may be physically entangled by hydroentanglement.

Filter media comprising a non-wetlaid backer are generally provided. In some embodiments, a filter media comprises a non-wetlaid fiber web and further comprises one or more further fiber webs. The further fiber web(s) may include an efficiency layer and/or a prefilter.

A free fibre or loose fibre structure for padding comprising a shell containing a plurality of free or loose fibres, said structure being characterised in that said free or loose fibres have a cut that reproduces the length, and in part the fineness, of genuine goose down.

Provided are a water-absorbing wipe and a manufacturing method therefor. The water-absorbing wipe has upper and lower layers of melt-blown fiber webs, and an intermediate layer of a wood pulp fiber web containing a super absorbent resin, wherein melt-blown fibers of the melt-blown fiber webs are woven into the wood pulp fiber web. The super absorbent resin in the water-absorbing wipe can rapidly absorb water or detergent. During wiping, by virtue of the liquid retention ability of the super absorbent resin, the water or the detergent is slowly released to the surface of an object to be cleaned, such that stains can be rapidly removed due to the wetness of the wipe. Moreover, after absorbing a large amount of water or detergent, the wipe can keep the surface dry without leaving behind drops of liquid, and is more suitable for use when the wipe is wet.

A composite nonwoven sheet material includes pulp fibers, a reinforcement material and microfibers. The sheet material has one pulp-enriched first outer layer and one microfiber-enriched second outer layer, the reinforcement material is thereby interposed between the pulp-enriched first outer layer and the microfiber-enriched second outer layer and the pulp fibers and the microfibers penetrate the reinforcement material. Also disclosed is a process of producing such composite nonwoven sheet material and the use of such composite nonwoven sheet material.

A electrically-conductive broad good having an electrically-conductive nonwoven veil comprising with a plurality of metal-coated fibers looped randomly throughout the nonwoven veil and a binder material binding the plurality of metal-coated fibers together into the nonwoven veil and a first metal coating covering the conductive nonwoven veil wherein the first metal coating increases the number of electrical interconnections between the plurality of metal-coated carbon fibers within the conductive nonwoven veil and increases the conductivity and ampacity of the plurality of metal-coated fibers.

An improved fibrous pellet for oral applications is disclosed herein. The fibrous pellet has improved physical and mechanical properties due to an improved manufacturing method that produces a more uniform and structurally sound fibrous pellet compared with the prior art. The fibrous pellet described herein may be configured for intra-oral delivery of active substances as well as the intra-oral absorption of fluids.

The present invention relates to a polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate/hydroxyapatite composite fibrous membrane, and a preparation method and an application thereof. The preparation method of the composite fibrous membrane includes the following steps: firstly, reacting a diammonium hydrogen phosphate with a calcium nitrate to prepare a hydroxyapatite, and performing ultrasonic dispersion on the hydroxyapatite with a sodium alginate to form a stable hydroxyapatite suspension; separately preparing a sodium alginate solution of which the mass fraction is 2% and a polyvinyl alcohol solution of which the mass fraction is 18% using the above stable hydroxyapatite suspension; and finally, proportionally and uniformly mixing the two solutions, and performing electrospinning.
