FIBER-ENTANGLING STRUCTURE

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain a fiber entanglement structure useful as a nursery for plant breeding, which has a specific structure resistant to deformation by external force, well-balanced retention of moisture and oxygen and high shape stability during the moisture retention. CONSTITUTION:The objective fiber entanglement structure is composed of (A) hydrophilic short-cut fibers 2 such as acrylic fibers made hydrophilic by treatment and (B) short-cut thick fibers 1 of hydrophobic polyester of 6 or higher denier where they are mutually bonded so as to adjust the volume ratio of the air phase to the fiber solid phase to 10 to 50 in the structure.
