Nonwovens (NW)
This course introduces the fundamentals of nonwoven structures, process, and products. It provides performance criteria, raw materials, manufacturing methods, and market outlooks of major nonwoven application segments including hygiene, wipes, filters, medical, automotive, and geotextile. Emphasis is placed on building basic understandings of process/structure/property relationship in nonwoven product and the economic justification for process and production.
Typically offered in Fall only
Mechanisms used in the production of nonwoven materials. Design and operation of these mechanisms. Process flow, optimization of process parameters, influence of process parameters on product properties.
Typically offered in Spring only
Fundamentals of methods used in evaluating structures & properties of nonwoven and related materials that influence nonwoven product performance and manufacturing processing. Principles and characterization methods of polymer thermal & rheological properties, nonwoven structural characteristics, mechanical, fluid transport, and barrier properties of nonwovens. Reliability and interpretation of test results.
Typically offered in Spring only
Fundamentals of nonwoven product development. In-depth knowledge of the materials, processes and nonwovens products. Design of a set of experiments intended for product development. Students work in teams to design, fabricate and evaluate nonwoven products.
Typically offered in Spring only
This course provides an opportunity for students to gain real-world experiences in nonwoven science and technology relevant to their academic and career goals. The course is designed to provide an academic framework for the student to learn through a nonwoven research experience and/or exploration of nonwoven industry operations while integrating their academic program experience under a faculty mentor's supervision.
