1. Melt spinning is a method of producing extruded, spun filaments that are collected onto a winder. Once collected, filaments can be woven into textiles or randomized to form a nonwoven material.

7. Spunbonding is a method of producing nonwovens by depositing extruded, spun filaments onto a collection belt. Filaments are randomized onto the collection belt by air jets, which create a web that is subsequently bonded using heated rolls. In this study, melt-spun and spunbond processes differ in the method of controlling fiber take-up velocity: melt-spun fibers utilize a winder while spunbonding employs air jets to draw fibers. Using air jets in spunbonding has the consequence of changing the cooling rate of the molten polymer.
