Abstract
This study combines hydrophilic and soft Tencel®fibers and low-melting-point polylactic acid (LMPLA) fibers by needle-punching and hot press processes to form moisture-retentive and comfortable Tencel®/LMPLA composite nonwoven fabrics. Air permeability, water vapor transmission rate, softness, water content rate, and water loss rate tests are performed on the composite nonwoven fabrics. The experiment results show that when hot pressed at 130 and 150 °C, the Tencel®/LMPLA composite nonwoven fabrics have good water absorption, water retention, and softness, which can be concluded as successfully moisture-retentive and comfortable Tencel®/LMPLA composite nonwoven fabrics.
