Abstract Currently, various products containing bamboo charcoal are popular. In this study, thermal insulation composites were manufactured with PET non-woven fabrics and bamboo charcoal woven fabrics. Bamboo charcoal can radiate far infrared rays and absorb smells, so it is used for textiles, deodorant materials, bedding, pillows, and so on. Non-woven fabrics were made with hollow and spiral polyester staple fibers, and had superior thermal insulation. The mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and air permeability of the composites were evaluated. When the ratio of the low melting point fibers was 30%, the maximum breaking strength of the thermal insulation composites exceeded that ...
