Preface
Non-woven Fabrics is differentiated text which covers overall stream
from raw fibers to final products and includes features of
manufacturing and finish process with specialized application end
use.
Application range of non-woven fabrics is extended to all the
industrial fields needless to say apparel, such as ICT (information
and communication technology), bio- and medicals, automobiles,
architectures, construction and environmental.
Every chapter is related to the important and convergent fields with
the technical application purpose from downstream to upstream
fields. Also, applicability of non-woven fabrics is introduced to be
based on the structural analysis of dimensional concept and various
non-woven fabrics as a state-of-art embedded convergent material
are emphasized in all industry fields by using nanofibers and carbon
fibers.

Abstract
The most significant feature of nonwoven fabric is made directly from fibers in a continu‐
ous production line. While manufacturing nonwovens, some conventional textile opera‐
tions, such as carding, drawing, roving, spinning, weaving or knitting, are partially or
completely eliminated. For this reason the choice of fiber is very important for nonwoven
manufacturers. The commonly used fibers include natural fibers (cotton, jute, flax, wool),
synthetic fibers (polyester (PES), polypropylene (PP), polyamide, rayon), special fibers
(glass, carbon, nanofiber, bi-component, superabsorbent fibers). Raw materials have not
only delivered significant product improvements but also benefited people using these
products by providing hygiene and comfort.

1. Introduction
The term “nonwoven” became popular more than half a century ago when nonwovens were
regarded as low-price substitutes for traditional textiles. However, today, the nonwoven fabric
technology is the most modern method used in the branch of textile industry. Nonwoven
technology exists to approximate the appearance, texture, and strength of conventional woven
and knitted fabrics due to their simple production stages, high efficiency of production, lower
cost, and disposability. Multi-layer nonwoven composites, laminates, and three-dimensional
nonwoven fabrics are commercially produced. Nonwovens combined with other materials
have different chemical and physical properties. Therefore, nonwovens can be used a wide
variety of industrial engineering, consumer, and health-care goods [1-7].
Among the textiles applications, nonwovens are one of the fastest-growing segments of the
textile industry and constitute roughly one third of the fiber industry. The latest estimates,
taking into account the official INDA (Association of Nonwoven Fabrics Industry) figure 1
