    Interest in piezoelectricity of polymers arose in the second half of the 20th Century when Kawai claimed that poled thin films of Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) exhibited a large piezoelectric coefficient. Using polymer based piezoelectric materials provide some advantages over the ceramic piezoelectric materials since polymeric materials are lead free, inexpensive, light in weight, flexible and easy to process. Furthermore, in the energy regeneration area, polymeric piezoelectric materials can generate higher voltage and power than ceramic piezoelectric materials under certain conditions, such as low impact and moderate wind.

    In addition to the symposium, the show floor will feature more than 100 exhibitors all doing business within the nonwovens and technical textile market. These exhibitors range from machinery and equipment suppliers to raw material producers to nonwoven and fabric makers to the makers of finished products targeting a number of different industries.

    Additionally, the multifeed card feeder from Dilo Spinnbau, which is available in working widths can exceed five meters. This unit is equipped with a twin fiber delivery system in the upper chamber which provides a more regular material flow. The roll opening stage allows fibre into the lower chamber with further compaction by mechanical means and air movement derived from the permeable delivery apron. Such a unit can deliver over 400 kg/m/hr of 1.7 dtex fibre with a cross direction evenness CV of 2-3% immediately prior to the card. Changeover times with this Multifeed system are fast thus reducing downtime and web reprocessing requirements. Machine direction evenness is controlled by a weighbelt scale linked to the card infeed.

    Multifeed can be used with all DiloSpinnbau card types in crosslapping applications or with high speed cards in series for web formation prior to hydroentanglement and thermal bonding.

    The MultiCard – also designed by DiloSpinnbau - has roller infeed, a breast cylinder with three worker/stripper pairs and a 1500mm main cylinder with a further five roller pairs. This is a double doffer system with the possible activation of condenser rolls for heavier webs. Such a card will handle the full range of fiber fineness and length with a web speed potential up to 200 m/min and offers an economic solution for crosslaid nonwoven production.

    The MultiCard enjoys a high production availability due to its easy and fast accessibility for cleaning and maintenance work.

    Also on display will be Vertical (HL series) and horizontal (DL series) crosslappers available from DiloMachines which provide infeed speeds up to 200 m/min (HL series) eliminating bottlenecks in the production line. The Dilo DL lappers operate in an infeed speed range of 80-160 m/min depending on application and specific model used. In addition to high infeed speeds new apron arrangements have been designed to give high layering precision based on excellent web control. These machines have been supplied up to 14 m in width for papermachine clothing applications.
