Degradability of Woven/Non-woven Fabric Polymer Laminates

This chapter presents the degradability behaviour of woven/non-woven fabric polymer laminates. The degradability behaviour of woven/non-woven fabric polymer laminates can be explained through different methods. Among all methods of the predicting degradability behaviour of woven/non-woven fabric, the degradability behaviour prediction through tensile strength test was most popular and reliable and explained in the current chapter. The result of tensile strength tests performed on geotextiles made from fabrics were explained in the current chapter. Further, the degradability behaviour of woven/non-woven fabric polymer laminates were reported on geotextile made from fabrics through the process of weaving or knitting fibres. The degradability behaviour reported in this chapter was explained after the performance evaluation of geotextile made from fabrics after the duration of 2, 6, 8, and 12 months and reduction in tensile strength were reported after the duration of 2, 6, 8, and 12 months. The application of these concepts was recommended in all the field of science and technology where the pattern of durability is important concerned with respect to strength and other characteristics.
