Abstract
A composite fabric formed by depositing a web of nanofibers electroblown from a first polymer onto a first support web comprising fibers of larger average diameter than the nanofibers spun from a compatible material, in the absence of an adhesive between the webs, and solvent-bonding the webs together.
Claims4
A process for forming a composite fabric, comprising electroblowing a web of polymeric nanofibers and a solvent therefor onto a moving support web comprising larger fibers spun from a material which is compatible with said nanofiber polymer, and applying a vacuum pressure between about 4 mm H2O and 170 mm H2O to the combined webs to solvent-bond the nanofiber web to the support web.
