“…For a tissue to be successfully regenerated, sufficient cell propagation, and appropriate differentiation must be achieved in the three-dimensional cellular composite. Nonwoven fabrics are widely used as scaffolds for tissue engineering application [13][14][15]. However, nonwoven fibrous matrices currently used in tissue engineering have a relatively large porosity, and pore size, in the range of several hundred micrometers, and have not been structurally optimized for specific application [12,16].…”

“…Jute fibers can be used as reinforcement in various forms including chopped fibers, yarns, and fabrics (woven, knitted or nonwoven). Recently, nonwovens have emerged as a promising candidate for reinforcement applications primarily due to good combination of light weight, lower production cost and flexibility compared to conventional materials [16][17][18]. Nonwoven formation involves aligning the fibers randomly or directionally and subsequently, bonding these fibers by chemical, mechanical, or thermal means.…”

In this study, the jute/polypropylene nonwoven reinforced composites were prepared using film stacking method. The surface of jute fibers was modified using alkali treatment. These alkali treated jute fiber nonwoven composites were analyzed for their tensile and flexural properties. Increasing the amount of jute fibers in the nonwovens has improved the mechanical properties of their composites. The effect of stacking sequence of preferentially and nonpreferentially aligned nonwovens within the composites was also investigated. The flexural and tensile moduli of composites were found to be significantly enhanced when nonwovens consisting of preferentially and nonpreferentially aligned jute fibers were stacked in an alternate manner. The existing theoretical models of tensile modulus of fiber reinforced composites have been analyzed for predicting the tensile modulus of nonwoven composites. In general, a good agreement was obtained between the experimental and theoretical results of tensile modulus of nonwoven composites. POLYM.

“…Nonwoven fabric is one of the popularly used materials in the fabrication of composites for many applications since they possess a good blend of strength, light weight and flexibility compared to conventional materials [11]. As the nonwoven fabric alone does not have the load carrying ability [12], the use of polymeric binders is very essential for more number of various applications.…”
