Taking into account the need of reducing environmental contamination, the implementation and use of biodegradable materials is now a common trend in material technologies.

At the Departament of Material and Commodity Sciences and Textile Metrology, a new formation technique has been designed and developed to produce card, needled and spunbond non-woven fabrics, as well as foams and foils. Spunbond non-woven fabrics are modified to receive strong hydrophobic features using a low-temperature plasma technique, making a skin contact layer of hygienic products. Moreover, the non-woven materials are coated with alginate acid which provides the materials with alleviating properties and pH which is optimal for human skin. Spunbond non-woven fabrics also provide an anti-bacterial finish for hospital products – hospital linen and sheets. The needled non-woven fabrics are provided with hydrophile finish to obtain absorbent layers and with an anti-bacterial finish, applied on the separating layer in hygienic products.

This technology may find applications in production of wound dressing and hygienic materials.
