A Comparative Study of the Thermal Insulation Properties of Jute and Jute - Polyester fibre Blended Nonwoven Fabrics
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Materials based on natural fibres are now becoming increasingly popular as thermal insulating material. Due to its low mass, density and cell structure, they show fairly good thermal insulation properties, often better and more advantageous than synthetic fibres. A great benefit of the insulation property based on natural fibres is not only a low value of thermal conductivity but also the natural character of these fibres. This paper delineatesto develop different blends of fibres comprising of jute and other fibres like recycled polyester (PET) and low melt bi-component fibres (PET) to produce needle punched nonwoven fabrics for using as thermal insulating material and to assess and compare the different functional properties of the developed nonwoven fabric samples for their suitability as thermal insulating material.
