A breathable and waterproof non-woven fabric is manufactured by a manufacturing method including the following steps. Performing a kneading process on 87 to 91 parts by weight of a polyester, 5 to 7 parts by weight of a water repellent, and 3 to 6 parts by weight of a flow promoter to form a mixture, in which the polyester has a melt index between 350 g/10 min and 1310 g/10 min at a temperature of 270? C., and the mixture has a melt index between 530 g/10 min and 1540 g/10 min at a temperature of 270? C. Performing a melt-blowing process on the mixture, such that the flow promoter is volatilized and a melt-blown fiber is formed, in which the melt-blown fiber has a fiber body and the water repellent disposed on the fiber body with a particle size (D90) between 350 nm and 450 nm.

A needle punched carpet for use in a car is disclosed. The needle punched carpet comprises at least a needle punched facing layer defining a top layer and made of staple fibers. The staple fibers comprise hollow fibers having a hollow fiber content that is at least more than 45 weight % of the total staple fibers.

Thermally stable absorbable fiber populations, i.e. fiber populations that do not undergo thermally induced crystallization, can be intermixed with thermally unstable fibers to yield a stabilizing effect without altering morphological properties of a fiber system. Via this, one may minimize thermally induced shrinkage and maintain physical properties of electrospun materials in the as-formed state.

Filter media comprising a filtration layer comprising synthetic fibers (e.g., pleatable backer layer) and related components, systems, and methods associated herewith are provided. In some embodiments, the filtration layer comprising synthetic fibers may be a non-woven web comprising a blend of coarse and fine diameter fibers. The filtration layer comprising synthetic fibers may be designed to have desirable performance properties without compromising certain mechanical properties, such as the pleatability of the media. In some embodiments, a filter media, described herein, may comprise the filtration layer comprising synthetic fibers and an efficiency layer. Filter media, as described herein, may be particularly well-suited for applications that involve filtering air, though the media may also be used in other applications.

A wet sheet for cleaning includes multiple layers and is impregnated with a chemical solution. The wet sheet for cleaning includes outer layers which are made of hydrophobic fiber and which are each arranged on a front surface and a back surface, and an inner layer which is made of hydrophilic fiber and which is arranged between the outer layers. The inner layer is provided with a hydrophilic fiber inner layer with the hydrophilic fiber and a hydrophobic fiber inner layer with hydrophobic fiber. The hydrophobic fiber inner layer is adjacent to at least one of the outer layers. The inner layer includes pulp by 50 wt % or more, has a grammage of 20 to 75 g/m.sup.2, and occupies 20 to 70% of a total mass of the wet sheet for cleaning.

The present invention is a bioactive, nanofibrous material construct which is manufactured using a unique electrospinning perfusion methodology. One embodiment provides a nanofibrous biocomposite material formed as a discrete textile fabric from a prepared liquid admixture of (i) a non-biodegradable durable synthetic polymer; (ii) a biologically active agent; and (iii) a liquid organic carrier. These biologically-active agents are chemical compounds which retain their recognized biological activity both before and after becoming non-permanently bound to the formed textile material; and will become subsequently released in-situ as discrete freely mobile agents front the fabric upon uptake of water from the ambient environment.
