  Abstract

It is trendy to use polymers with different forms in a diversity of fields. This study uses nylon fibers and lowmelting- point polyester (LMPET) fibers or low melting point polylactic acid (LMPLA) fibers to fabricate three-dimensional nylon/LMPET and nylon/LMPLA cushioning composite fabrics employing the nonwoven manufacturing. The employment of needle punching process and thermal treatment reinforce the cushioning composite fabrics, and the subsequent thermal bonding points strengthen the mechanical properties effectively. In comparison to pure nylon nonwoven fabrics, the nylon cushioning composite fabrics exhibit higher tensile strength by 2.3 times regardless of whether it is a nylon/LMPET or nylon/ LMPLA cushioning composite fabric. Similarly, based on the hammer rebound rate measurement, when the 3D cushioning composite fabrics are composed of 20 wt% of LMPLA fibers or 80 wt% of LMPET fibers, the hammer rebound rate reaches 20 %, which is 1.4 times greater than that of the control group. Additionally, the composite fabrics that are composed of 80 wt% of LMPLA fibers or 40 wt% of LMPET fibers also demonstrate higher compression recovery than the control group.
