Abstract
Abstract A process for obtaining nonwoven materials having improved physical properties, especially internal bond strength and resistance to delamination is provided. Nonwoven fabrics and papers impregnated with carboxyl-containing butadiene polymer latices, especially carboxylated butadienestyrene and carboxylated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer, are exposed to ammonia or amine vapors prior to the drying and curing operations to obtain the improved properties. Papers treated in this manner have shown a marked increase in internal bond strength.
