Sheet material having a fibrous surface and method of making same

摘要

A process for forming a sheet material having a fibrous surface and the sheet material produced thereby; the fibers are produced by deposition of a heated, thermally sensitive material on to a substrate, which is transported at a velocity approximately equal to the velocity of the material being deposited. By manipulating the fiber density and denier, the sheet material can be made to be either softer or rougher to the touch.
