Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider the influence of laminating temperature on nanofiber/laminate properties. Hot-press laminating was carried out at five different temperatures and nanofiber web morphology was observed under an optical microscope. Also, air permeability experiments were performed to examine the effect of laminating temperature on breathability of multilayer fabric. Optical microscope images showed that the nanofiber web began to damage when laminating temperature was selected above the melting point of adhesive layer. Air permeability decreased with increasing laminating temperature. It is also observed that the adhesive force between layers was increased by increasing laminating temperature.
