Abstract | ||||
The nonwovens industry in Europe has been around since the mid-sixties, with the first production of nonwoven fabric dating back to the 1930s. Since then, the manufacturing of nonwovens has expanded rapidly, with applications in hygiene, healthcare, civil engineering, household and automotive, cleaning, filtration, clothing, food wrap, and packaging. However, confusion and ignorance about nonwovens remain. This review provides a comprehensive view of nonwovens, their manufacturing process, applications, and possibilities. It aims to help those within and outside the industry, as well as attract young talents to the growing industry, which still needs to develop machinery, raw materials, and properties for optimal use. | ||||
