Abstract
This chapter presents a comprehensive concept of nonwoven, a leading and fast-growing material in textiles. The first portion of the chapter will introduce non-woven fundamentals for comparatively new readers. This chapter will cover various non-woven applications in our daily lives. The unique features and the basic manufacturing process are accumulated in this chapter. The second portion will be rich with information on the latest developments that include manufacturing processes and applications in the non-woven field. Recent technological advancements in technical non-woven will also be present with greater emphasis. In addition, at the end of this chapter, some information about the dispensation of specialist materials such as green recycled materials, biopolymers, and nanofibers for developing eco-friendly and sustainable non-woven products is provided. In general, this chapter brings together a lot of different things, as well as the most recent developments in non-woven, to make it better.
