“…In addition, as a cellulose fiber, Tencel fiber can be absorbed and degraded in natural environment. Therefore, Tencel fiber is also well-known as eco-fiber [2][3][4][5][6]. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a high macromolecule polymerized by lactic acid monomer.…”

Polylactic acid (PLA) is often applicable in biomedical because in environment it degrades into carbon dioxide and water. This study aims to prepare sandwich-structure PLA/ Tencel composite nonwoven, following by its property test for evaluating effect on wound dressing. In this study, PLA fibers, blended with Tencel fibers, were made into nonwoven fabrics based on nonwoven processing technology. After that, their tensile strength, tearing strength and softness were tested for evaluating nonwoven fabric properties. The result displays that, PLA nonwoven fabrics show higher tensile strength and tearing strength than Tencel nonwoven fabrics.

“…Tencel is a lyocell fabric, first produced by Courtaulds Fibres, Holdings, Ltd. (now Acordis Group) about 10 years ago (1)(2)(3). This new textile material, obtained through a spinning procedure from wood pulp dispersed in N -methylmorpholine oxide, shows very interesting properties from the technological and environmental points of view.…”
