Abstract
This paper describes an experimental investigation designed to assess the effect of the binder component on the physical properties of the nonwoven. Fabrics have been constructed in the laboratory with varying binder contents, and also the binder stiffness was varied. It is seen that in these samples an increase in either the binder content or binder stiffness results in an increase in both the tensile strength and initial modulus. The results are compared with those from fabrics made by linking the fiber network with a fiber solvent; this method results in a stiffer structure.
