Abstract
Recently measured transport properties of electrospun materials have shown that the microporosity present in electrospun membranes enables exceptional breathability with accompanying wind resistance. Recently prepared elastomeric polyurethane nonwovens have been prepared with and without crosslinking after fiber formation. The effect of crosslinking on microstructure, wettability and liquid retention, as well as transport properties, has been studied.Keywords
