Geo-textiles for Side Slope Protection: Preparation and Characteristics
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
The vegetation blanket is the most common choice for soil and water preservation. This is a feasible method that protects the land and environment according to basic agriculture and engineering theories. This study manufactured eco-friendly nonwoven vegetation blankets by using cotton fibers, far-infrared fibers, PLA fibers, and low melting-point fibers at a 1:1:7:1 ratio. This ratio yielded from the pilot study provides the resulting vegetation blankets’ optimum air permeability and water absorption. This study further finds that a needle-punching density of 30 needles/cm[sup]2[/sup] allows fibers to lie in a loose structure, and therefore yielding the optimum air permeability and water absorption. In plant growth evaluation, for nonwoven vegetation blankets that contain 50 wt% far-infrared fibers, the plant growth length is 1.3 times greater than that of blankets with 10 wt% far-infrared fibers. This result proves that far-infrared fibers have usually been applied to plant growth.
