Abstract
Three‐dimensional structural analysis utilizing digital volumetric imaging is used to fully understand the splitting of bicomponent fibers by hydroentangling. It was found that lower fabric density measured by solid volume fraction, higher degree of splitting and a higher thickness fiber orientation direction was evident at the jet streak valley position. Splitting was found to be more dominant on the surface of the fabrics. Washing the fabric increased fiber splitting and also resulted in more uniform splitting, but did not result in any significant change in local fiber orientation, that is, the structure.
