Abstract:
This research was conducted to evaluate thermal bonded nonwoven fabrics manufactured from usher - Ester fibers. The effect, of some key processing variables, including blending ratio and bonding temperature on peak loads of the product were studied. The results showed that, appropriate selection of combinations of fibers and process conditions resulted in excellent performance properties. High Strong usher (Ester /pp) nonwoven fabrics can be obtained by using usher and Ester /pp at a blend ratio of 50/50 and a thermal calendaring temperature of 110 °C under a pressure of 0.33 M Pa. Further, the results emphasized the economic and industrial potentials of usher plants in the Sudan
