Primary Study of Polyester Composite Nonwoven Applied on Soilless Culture

Abstract:

Currently, all over countries call for greening the earth. Whereas, there is no enough space to be planted by developing countries, owing to their excessive and intensive development. For establishing green globe, every country expects to green forming urban forest in the way of soilless culture, attached with far-infrared fiber in order to promote root growing speed. This study uses polyester (PET) fiber and far-infrared PET (FIR) fiber to form PET/FIR composite nonwoven fabric by nonwoven processing technology. In this process, blending ratio of PET and FIR fibers was varied. Afterwards, moisture retention, air permeability and far-infrared emissivity of PET/FIR composite nonwoven fabric were all tested. The results show that, blending ratio of PET and FIR fibers has no significant influence on moisture retention and air permeability, but obviously impacts on far-infrared emissivity.
