Glass Mat with Synthetic Wood Pulp

摘要

A non-woven mat may be generated using synthetic wood pulp and short glass fibers. The non-woven mat may be made in very thin, light weight configurations for various uses. The synthetic wood pulp may serve as a dispersant to disperse the glass fibers in a mixture prior to using paper making techniques to form the mat. A heat flux may bind the glass fibers by melting the synthetic wood pulp to form a mat. The mat may be calendered. In some embodiments, the mat may have a secondary application of a polymer, such as PVDF or PMMA which may further strengthen the mat.
