These materials function by blocking the pores of a woven, knitted or non-woven fabric with a cohesive polymer film which acts as a physical barrier against wind, water, and, in the case of protective workwear, aggressive chemicals, oils, and greases. The barrier concept thus distinguishes polymer coatings from chemical finishes, which merely coat the individual fibres of a fabric without blocking the pores, and repel fluids by surface tension effects. Recent advances in polymer coatings have been associated mainly with polyurethanes (PUS) and acrylics, both of which are amenable to basic changes in chemical composition to achieve new performance levels. Silicones, and to a lesser extent the fluorocarbon rubbers, have also flourished for specialist applications, whilst PVC, natural rubber, and many synthetic rubber coatings have not advanced as significantly for clothing purposes. A combination of these latest coatings with the development of coating techniques for loosely-woven fabrics, dimensionally unstable knits, and non-woven fabrics, which cannot be coated by direct knife spreading or calendering, has greatly extended the range of coated fabrics and enduses available to apparel manufacturers.","PeriodicalId":170115,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coated Fabrics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134516784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is hoped that it will provide a background for creative thought and further inquiry and research into ultrasonic technology and its contribution to fiber bonding technology. An exhaustive examination of ultrasonic theory is not provided because it would be of little use until specific applications oriented questions are developed. Ultrasonic energy is now a well established tool of any industry using thermoplastic materials. However, ultrasonic energy's usefulness precedes thermoplastic applications and originates in World War II sonar technology followed by industrial applications for non-destructive testing, industrial ultrasonic cleaning and ultrasonic plastic joining to mention a few. The use of this technology in fabric and fiber bonding goes back to 1970 and is probably best known in the textile industry for ultrasonically formed mattress pads and bedspreads via the PinsonicO process. It is the Pinsonic9 process which has provided the foundation for using ultrasonic energy to laminate and/or form non-woven fabrics and products. Why was the Pinsonic9 process so successful and why do we think ultrasonic bonding has so much promise in the non-woven industry? It is because of inherent advantages that generally apply to all welding of","PeriodicalId":170115,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coated Fabrics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132598734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The creation of an entirely new breed of industrial fabrics, however, also requires solid, demonstrative proof that such fabrics will satisfy an existing need better than existing materials and practices or introduce fabricators and manufacturers to an entirely new market. Very thin films used in commercial and space aircraft for insulation covering require effective reinforcement both for fabrication and strength purposes. To keep weight at a minimum, a reinforcing system of bonded, oriented, and continuous strand yarns was developed. In this system the fill yarns are coated with an adhesive, passed over the warp, and bonded to a substrate in a continuous procedure. Fill yarn spacing is variable at will. Virtually any size, type, and combination of yarns can be used. Adhesives are selected to match the end use of the reinforced product. As a part of the project, this reinforcing system was applied to many types of plastic films and to both woven and non-woven substrates. Laboratory and field work on this project began in August 1976. Over 400 different types of fabrics were constructed and evaluated for possible use in approximately 60 industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":170115,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coated Fabrics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131358644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
