GENERAL INFORMATION

AFDeter is an integrated software package to simultaneously determine the structural parameters and airflow-related properties of fibrous materials based on their airflow penetration behavior. It is applied on a variety of fibrous materials, such as needle punched, meit blown, spunlacea conventional nonwoven fabrics, electrospinning nanofiber webs and so on.

AFDeter can be operated as a MATLAB-based app and a standalone application under the operating environments of Windows and macOS.
