“…[78] Nonwoven textile is widely used in the fields of medical protective clothing, blankets, garments, air filters, packaging, automobiles, geotextiles, drapes, wound dressing, crop covers, masks, and wet tissues as a result of the advantages of light weight, high output, moderate strength and stability, good stability, and low cost. [79][80][81] Nonwoven textile can be divided into melt-blown, needlepunched, spun-bonded, spun-laced, and thermal-bonded nonwoven textile according to the difference in the fabrication method and process. [82][83][84][85] There are a variety of polymers that can be used to manufacture nonwoven textile, such as polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), polylactic acid (PLA), polyamide (PA), and so on.…”

“…[81] Spun-bonded PET nonwoven textile has various excellent properties, such as dimensional stability, high strength, high elasticity, and UV resistance. [87][88][89] In addition, the needle-punched nonwoven textile has become popular due to the diverse mechanical and physical properties that can provide different thickness and densities to meet various requirements. [90,91] The short fibers are opened, carded, and laid into a web structure, and then reinforced by using needle with barbs repeatedly punching to form needle-punched nonwoven textile.…”

Recent advances in novel aerogels through the hybrid aggregation of inorganic nanomaterials and polymeric fibers for thermal insulation

Aerogel is a nanoporous solid material with ultrahigh porosity, ultralow density, and thermal conductivity, which is considered to be one of the most promising high‐performance insulation materials today. However, traditional pure inorganic aerogels (i.e., silica aerogel) exhibit inherent structural brittleness, making their processing and handling difficult, and their manufacturing costs are relatively high, which limits their large‐scale practical use. The recently developed aerogel based on polymer nanofibers has ultralow thermal conductivity and density, excellent elasticity, and designable multifunction. More importantly, one‐dimensional polymer nanofibers are directly used as building blocks to construct the network of aerogels via a gelation‐free process. This greatly simplifies the aerogel preparation process, thereby bringing opportunities for large‐scale aerogel applications. The aggregation of inorganic nanomaterials and polymer nanofibers is considered to be a very attractive strategy for obtaining highly flexible, easily available, and multifunctional composite aerogels. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent advances in novel aerogels through the hybrid aggregation of inorganic nanomaterials and polymeric fibers for thermal insulation. The main processing routes, porous microstructure, mechanical properties, and thermal properties and applications of these aerogels are highlighted. In addition, various future challenges faced by these aerogels in thermal insulation applications are discussed in this review.

“…Recycled carbon fiber (rCF) generally requires further processing into textile preforms for reuse in the composites industry. The use of nonwoven preforms is attractive due to their high production rates, greater than an order of magnitude faster than woven textiles [15]. The high value placed on low cost and rapid processing by the automotive industry makes nonwoven textiles a natural fit for automotive composite reinforcement.…”

“…With the addition of filler and in-line impregnation, manufacturers can control the material functionality and explore various potential applications ranging from filtering to roofing substrates to semi-structural composites. Production rates vary based on several factors but have been reported at up to 1000 m per minute [15]. Ahrens [18] demonstrated that the wet-laid system allows great flexibility in the blending of different kinds of fibers.…”

Carbon fiber recycling has garnered significant attention in recent years due to the large volume of manufacturing waste and upcoming end-of-life products that will enter the waste stream as the current generation of aircraft is retired from service. Recycled carbon fibers have been shown to retain most of their virgin mechanical properties, but their length is generally reduced such that continuous fiber laminates cannot be remade. As such, these fibers are typically used in low-performance applications including injection molding, extrusion/compression molding, and 3D printing that further degrade the fiber length and resulting composite properties. However, recent advances in the processing of long discontinuous fiber textiles have led to medium- to high-performance composites using recycled carbon fibers. This review paper describes the recent advances in recycled carbon fiber textile processing that have made these improvements possible. The techniques used to manufacture high-value polymer composites reinforced with discontinuous recycled carbon fiber are described. The resulting mechanical and multifunctional properties are also discussed to illustrate the advantages of these new textile-based recycled fiber composites over the prior art.

“…Nonwoven fabrics are manufactured from directionally or randomly oriented staple fibers or endless fibers via dry-/wet-laid or melt-spinning, respectively. To provide a mechanical integrity to the web, the fibers are bonded/entangled together mechanically, thermally or chemically [6]. Nonwovens offer an extended inner surface area in the form of a 3D network of fibers and the properties of textiles can be engineered to meet specific functions in the automotive industry, medical apparel [7], and filter media [8,9].…”

Evaluating the Potential of Polylactide Nonwovens as Bio-Based Media for Air Filtration

The presented research aims to characterize hydrolytic resistance of highly crystalline and oriented polylactide (PLA) as a prerequisite for exploiting this bio-based material in durable applications. Industrially melt-spun PLA monofilaments and nonwovens have been subjected to environmental aging in a temperature range of 50–70 °C at a wide range of relative humidity (RH) in order to identify the onset of the material degradation under application conditions. Along with the measurements of mechanical and thermal behavior of the aged samples, the suitability of FTIR spectroscopy to probe the initial changes in the crystalline structure and in chemical composition of the fibers, caused by hydrolytic degradation, has been evaluated. The diagrams of stability and hydrolytic degradation under employed environmental aging for 7–14 days are presented for both types of PLA materials. Assessment of filtration performance of the artificially aged fibrous PLA media indicated a good agreement with the established stability diagram and confirmed the application potential of PLA nonwoven media, spun from currently available PLA grades, in air filtration under moderate climatic conditions up to max 50 °C and 50% RH. The presented results advance the knowledge on hydrolytic resistance of bio-based industry-relevant fibers and therefore open new application areas for sustainable materials with biodegradable components.
