Abstract
Soilless culture mediums are able to increase the greening areas and decrease the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), which reduces the global temperature and the green house effect. The aim of this study is to explore effects of the content of low melting point polyester (LPET) fibers on the physical properties of the polyester (PET)/LPET nonwoven fabrics. PET fibers and LPET fibers are blended with various ratios, and made into PET/LPET nonwoven fabrics with a nonwoven process. The air permeability, water content, water retention, and pH value tests are performed on the resulting fabrics. The experiment results show that increasing LPET fiber content increases the air permeability and water content, but decreases the water retention. The LPET content does not have an influence on the pH value.
