Thermally bonding bicomponent fibers provide an attractive alternative to single component binder fibers in calendered nonwoven fabrics in that they retain their tensile loading capabilities following heat treatment. The research described here examines two different types of staple bicomponent fibers used in the stabilization of cotton and binder fiber blended nonwovens. Furthermore, differences in the preparatory blending process between homogeneous and nonhomogeneous mixes of cotton and the binder fiber, as well as the thermal treatments of calendering, are found to significantly influence the physical properties of the nonwoven fabric.
