Title: Joseph E Meyer: Innovator in Non-Woven Fabric Technology
Introduction
Joseph E Meyer is a notable inventor based in Corvallis, OR (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of non-woven fabrics, particularly through his innovative patent that enhances the mechanical strength and uniformity of these materials.
Latest Patents
Meyer holds a patent for a "Wet-laid non-woven fabric and method for making same." This invention discloses non-woven fabrics and methods and apparatus for their manufacture. The fabrics exhibit excellent mechanical strength and hand, along with substantial uniformity of constituent fibers, even at low basis weights. The fabric comprises chopped fibers of a synthetic polymeric thermoplastic material, which serve as binder fibers, and chopped fibers of a synthetic polymeric material that need not be thermoplastic, which serve as bonded fibers. Notably, no extraneous binder materials are required in the fabric. During the manufacturing process, the binder fibers are uniformly dispersed in an aqueous liquid with the bonded fibers. The fibers are wet laid to form a web that is subsequently dried. During drying, the web is physically supported to prevent fracture, and it is heated sufficiently to bond the binder fibers to the bonded fibers, resulting in the finished fabric.
