---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Composite materials are widely used because of their extreme properties. Researchers working on fabrication of new composite materials worldwide to enhance the applicability of these materials. There are very few works about the effect of nanoclay ...

This part of the study aims to investigate the role of fiber finish during processing on the needlepunching machine. Certain key response parameters like dynamic needling forces and needlepunched fabric properties are analyzed for any possible effect of finish level and its uniformity on these responses. The experiments were performed using polyester and polypropylene, two of the most commonly ...
