Abstract

The possibility of controlling the porosity and, as a result, the permeability of fibrous non-woven fabrics was studied. Modification of experimental samples was performed on equipment with adjustable heating and compression. It was found that the modification regimes affected the formation of the porous structure. We found that there was a relationship between the permeability coefficient and the porosity coefficient of the materials when the modification speed and temperature were varied. A model is proposed for predicting the permeability for modified material with a given porosity. As the result, a new hybrid composite material with reversible dynamic color characteristics that changed under the influence of ultraviolet and/or thermal exposure was produced. The developed technology consists of: manufacture of the non-woven needle-punched fabrics, surface structuring, material extrusion, additive manufacturing (FFF technology) and the stencil technique of ink-layer adding. In our investigation, we (a) obtained fibrous polymer materials with a porosity gradient in thickness, (b) determined the dependence of the material’s porosity coefficient on the speed and temperature of the modification and (c) developed a model for calculating the porosity coefficient of the materials with specified technological parameters.
