Against the backdrop of evolving new materials, intelligent manufacturing and green low-carbon trends, Nonwoven materials are playing an increasingly vital role in modern industrial systems. Recently, the 3rd Donghua University Nonwovens Doctoral Supervisor Forum focused on the cutting-edge technologies and applications of Nonwoven materials, sparking in-depth discussions.
Safeguarding Health with Innovative Materials
Nonwoven materials are pivotal to human health, with breakthroughs in hydrogel fiber technology enabling the creation of high-strength, small-diameter dressings. These dressings feature moisture management, microbial barrier functions, and rapid hemostasis, finding wide use in medical aesthetics, wound care and tissue engineering.
Emotional Regulation & Indoor Air Purification
Plant-derived aromatic ingredients are integrated with nonwovens via microcapsule and responsive release technologies, enabling smart, long-lasting scent release for mood regulation and sleep improvement. A multi-porous aerogel system has also been developed to efficiently adsorb and decompose low-concentration formaldehyde, tackling indoor air purification challenges.
Green Solutions for Environment & Energy
Nonwovens offer innovative answers to global water and energy crises. Optimized solar interfacial evaporation technology boosts seawater desalination efficiency while cutting costs. Solar-driven lithium-extracting fiber mats and Nonwoven applications in solid-state batteries are also emerging. Additionally, waste textiles are converted into flame-retardant materials through a “sandwich” structure, promoting resource recycling.
Powering Industrial Transformation in Automotive Sector
Tailored for new energy vehicles, advanced nonwoven-based underbody shields outperform traditional materials in strength, toughness and corrosion resistance. The lightweight design cuts weight by 30% while delivering superior sound absorption, with potential applications expanding to high-speed rail and flying cars.
