Abstract
In this chapter, we will focus on polyolefin fibre and film applications in industrial and medical applications. Hence, polyolefin fibre forms and properties are reviewed to map out these technical applications that utilize polyolefin properties advantageously. A brief conversion technique from the polyolefin fibres to technical fibrous structures such as yarns, ropes cordages, woven, knitted fabrics, nonwoven and their composites are discussed with reference to a typical equipment, processes, and structural properties. Industrial applications of the fibrous structures derived from the polyolefin fibres and yarns in medical, filtration, transportation, nets, and ropes are also discussed. The polyolefins have a strong growth potential in certain industrial applications by adopting the emerging nanotechnologies to improve performance properties and cost factor over competing rival thermoplastic fibres.
