- Structure of papers and NonwovensPublication . Pereira, Mário José Teixeira; Costa, A. P.; Salvado, Rita; Silvy, Jacques; Fiadeiro, PauloWe characterise the structure of fibrous materials: papers and nonwovens by diffraction and transmission of light. This allows the measurement of the fibres orientation distribution of the sample as a whole or for the surfaces using replicas. Applications of the methods are demonstrated in the case of paper for the control of the curl tendency and for two kinds of nonwoven materials, one used in the tailoring of surgical garments and the other used as components of the baby diapers.
- 3-D Characterisation of Nonwoven Fabrics by means of an optical systemPublication . Pereira, Mário José Teixeira; Salvado, Rita; Fiadeiro, Paulo; Silvy, JacquesThe characterisation of fabric structure by means of quantified parameters is essential for the control of the fabrication processes and the resulting properties of the nonwoven materials. Important parameters of the structure are the porosity, the mean pore size and the pore size distribution, the specific area of the texture, the fibres orientation the last one needing to be characterised in the three dimension of the fabric web. In this research work we intend to evaluate the porous fibres orientation in geotextiles nonwovens using a procedure based on the fibres light conducting and their associated scattering. The interpretation of the phenomena is made through a modelisation concept of the pore fibre interfaces
