This study aims to examine the influence of the temperatures of heat treatment on the puncture-resistance of Nylon6/LPET compound nonwoven fabrics. Polyamide 6 (Nylon 6) fibers and low-melting-point polyester (LPET) fibers are combined and undergo a heat treatment to make three-dimensional (3-D) Nylon 6/LPET compound nonwoven fabrics through a nonwoven process. The nonwoven fabrics are tested for their dynamic puncture resistance, constant rate puncture resistance, and impact strength. The experiment results show that when thermally treated at a high temperature, the compound nonwoven fabrics are rendered with a lower dynamic puncture resistance and a lower constant rate puncture resistance, but a greater impact strength.
