The TTNA is working with the International Fibre Centre and Ramsay McDonald Pty Ltd to develop and deliver training on fibre orientation in nonwovens. Experts from leading nonwoven organisations in Europe will visit Melbourne specifically for this course.
The course will outline the options, characterisation and obtainable properties from fibres that have been orientated in a preferred direction by flows arising during processing.
The topics to be covered will include:
• fibre alignment and matrials rheology;
• processes that can produce fibre materials characterization and mechanical properties;
• modelling of processes and materials properties.
The proposed program will provide industry with access to relevant and current skills, knowledge and technologies required to modify, transform and enhance synthetic and natural fibre orientation in nonwoven textiles in order to create functional properties and thus a competitive advantage for these products.
We are scheduling this course to take place at the end of February 2008 at RMIT's Brunswick campus. Final dates and timings will be posted shortly.
