FASH 290 Chapter Notes - Chapter 15: Geotextile, Mattress, Maurice Ravel
Document Summary
Name textiles made form solutions, fibers, yarns, composite, and animal products. Integrate fabrication method, materials, and components with performance and end use. Films: made directly from a polymer solution by melt-extrusion or by casting the solution onto a hot drum, plain films. Excellent soil and stain resistance: expanded films. Spongier, softer, and plumper due to tiny air cells in the compound. Impermeable to air and water: supported films. More durable, expensive, easier to sew, and less likely to crack. Foams: made by incorporating air into an elasticlike substance, known for bulkiness and sponginess, used as carpet backing and underlay, furniture and mattress padding, and pillow and mattress forms. Nonwoven or fiberweb structures: nonwoven = fiberweb, properties are controlled by arrangement of fibers in the web, properties of the fibers being used, and properties of any binders used, quick and inexpensive to produce, dry-laid. Made by carding or air-laying staple fibers in either a random or oriented arrangement.
