Abstract

Ecological environment deteriorates drastically and rapidly, which can be ascribed to the fast advancement of international economy and technique. Hence, people become green consumers, using green products. The series of lyocell fiber, called as recycled fiber, has been pervasively used. This study used Tencel® fiber, Polylactic Acid (PLA) fiber and high absorbent fiber as well as nonwoven manufacturing, creating Tencel®/PLA/HAF composite nonwoven fabrics. Among the manufacturing parameters, an increase in Tencel® fiber ratio, needle-punching density and basis weight all contributed to heighten the mechanical properties of nonwoven fabrics. In particular, the Tencel®/PLA/HAF composite nonwoven fabric exhibited an optimum tensile strength of 68.8 N and bursting strength of 193.7 N when Tencel® fiber ratio was over 80 wt%, basis weight was 200 g/m2 and needle-punching density was 300 needle/cm2.
