“…Higher fabric thickness and the greater number of fibers per unit area provide more resistance to airflow, which in turn leads to a decrease in air permeability as the weight of the fabric increases [34][35][36]. As noted by , when the weight of the spunlace fabric decreases, the fiber web is thinner, and the pores between the fibers are larger, resulting in high air permeability [37]. This is also consistent with the results of Midha and Mukhopadhyay (2005), and Maduna (2018) [38][39].…”

“…This is because the fabrics are composed of staple fibers and the fibers are aligned in MD so because of less number of fibers in the cross direction region, the developed fabric exhibited lower tensile strength in CD [29]. Also, Zhao et al (2020) found that this is a typical effect caused by the carding process, in which most of the fibers are laid parallel at MD [30].…”

This study investigates the effects of fabric properties and ultrasonic welding on the performance of surgical gowns. For this purpose, eight spunlace fabrics with different structural properties were provided. First, the fabrics’ thickness, tensile strength, elongation at break, air permeability, drape behavior, and surface friction properties were investigated. Then the fabrics were sewn with the ultrasonic sewing machine. Afterward, the sewn fabrics’ seam strength, air permeability and drape behavior were tested. The results were statistically evaluated. Based on the data obtained, a detailed comparison was made between the fabrics with respect to the expectations of the surgical gowns. The higher the polyester content in the fabric, the higher the fabric strength, seam strength and air permeability. However, viscose-rich fabrics have a softer hand and are easier to drape compared to polyester fabrics. Moreover, sewing process leads to a decrease in the drape and air permeability of the fabrics.

Most sheet facial masks for skincare are made of nonwovens and loaded with liquid active ingredients, which are usually opaque and require additives for long‐term preservation. Herein, a Transparent Additive‐Free Fibrous (TAFF) facial mask is reported for skin moisturizing. The TAFF facial mask consists of a bilayer fibrous membrane. The inner layer is fabricated by electrospinning functional components of gelatin (GE) and hyaluronic acid (HA) into a solid fibrous membrane to get rid of additives, the outer layer is an ultrathin PA6 fibrous membrane that is highly transparent, especially after absorbing water. The results indicate that the GE‐HA membrane can quickly absorb water and become a transparent hydrogel film. By employing the hydrophobic PA6 membrane as the outer layer, directional water transport is achieved, which enables TAFF facial mask with excellent skin moisturizing effect. The skin moisture content is up to 84% ± 7% after placing the TAFF facial mask on the skin for 10 min. In addition, the relative transparency of the TAFF facial mask on the skin reaches 97.0% ± 1.9% when ultrathin PA6 membrane is used as the outer layer. The design of the transparent additive‐free facial mask may serve as a guideline for developing new functional facial masks.

“… 4 Most of the single-time usable masks are made of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polyurethane, polyacrylonitrile, polystyrene, or polycarbonate. 5 The mask mainly consists of an inner layer as soft fibres, middle layer by melt-blown filter, and outer layer made with nonwoven fibres, having water-resistance. In general, fibrous materials were used to create particulate matter filters (PM), according to PM particulate size.…”
