2   Having the ability to compare the performance properties of nonwovens with other textile materials.
3   Selection of raw material for the production of non-woven and to evaluate its properties.
4   To have sufficient theoretical knowledge about common test methods for nonwovens.
5   Having the ability to analyze, evaluate and interpret of the factors affecting performance properties of nonwoven.
