“…Hydroentanglement technology is usually used to produce cotton-based nonwovens because it not only allows the bonding of fibrous web but also helps the additional cleansing of cotton fibres. A recent study explored the potential of using comber noil (a by-product from the production of fine-quality combed-cotton yarns) to produce hydro-entangled nonwovens for hygiene and healthcare applications [206]. The results of this study showed that hydro-entangled nonwovens from comber noil could potentially be employed in disposable applications.…”

Cotton is the most significant natural fibre and has been a preferred choice of the textile industry and consumers since the industrial revolution began. The share of man-made fibres, both regenerated and synthetic fibres, has grown considerably in recent times but cotton production has also been on the rise and accounts for about half of the fibres used for apparel and textile goods. To cotton's advantage, the premium attached to the presence of cotton fibre and the general positive consumer perception is well established, however, compared to commodity manmade fibres and high performance fibres, cotton has limitations in terms of its mechanical properties but can help to overcome moisture management issues that arise with performance apparel during active wear. This issue of Textile Progress aims to: i. Report on advances in cotton cultivation and processing as well as improvements to conventional cotton cultivation and ginning. The processing of cotton in the textile industry from fibre to finished fabric, cotton and its blends, and their applications in technical textiles are also covered. ii. Explore the economic impact of cotton in different parts of the world including an overview of global cotton trade. iii. Examine the environmental perception of cotton fibre and efforts in organic and genetically-modified (GM) cotton production. The topic of naturally-coloured cotton, post-consumer waste is covered and the environmental impacts of cotton cultivation and processing are discussed. Hazardous effects of cultivation, such as the extensive use of pesticides, insecticides and irrigation with fresh water, and consequences of the use of GM cotton and cotton fibres in general on the climate are summarised and the effects of cotton processing on workers are addressed. The potential hazards during cotton cultivation, processing and use are also included. iv. Examine how the properties of cotton textiles can be enhanced, for example, by improving wrinkle recovery and reducing the flammability of cotton fibre.

“…Ahmad and his colleagues studied the use of comber noil in the production of hydroentangled nonwovens at varying water jet pressures and conveyor speeds. The results showed that these variables can help to manufacture fibrous assemblies with engineered properties, according to required application area [10]. The effect of laying directions on the mechanical and comfort properties of nonwoven fabrics produced with 100% polyester, and polyester/viscose blended was investigated [11,12].…”

“…It can produce homogeneous nonwoven textile products [13,14,15,16,17]. The hydroentanglement technique is one of the mechanical bonding techniques that uses fine high-pressure water jets that strike a web to rearrange and entangle fibers, capable of producing nonwovens with good wet strength and softness and high-water absorbency [18,19,20,21]. The wet strength and dispersibility of wet-laid hydroentangled nonwovens depend on raw fiber materials and process parameters, such as fiber length and water jet pressure [22].…”

Wet-laid hydroentangled nonwovens are widely used for disposable products, but these products generally do not have good dispersibility and can block sewage systems after being discarded into toilets. In this study, both pulp fibers and Danufil fibers are selected as we hypothesize that the high wet strength and striated surface of Danufil fibers would allow us to produce nonwovens with better dispersibility while having enough mechanical properties. The wet strength and dispersibility of nonwovens are systematically studied by investigating the influence of the fiber blend ratio, fiber length, and water jet pressure. The results indicate that the percent dispersion could be as high as 81.3% when the wet strength is higher than 4.8 N, which has been improved greatly comparing the percent dispersion of 67.6% reported before.
