Gel has a three-dimensional network structure that is usually synthesized by crosslinking the monomers in various ways. It is widely used in hygiene, cosmetic, fragrance, medicine and many others fields. Multi-functions like water absorbability, biocompatibility and flexibility, can be designed and given depending on the chemical structure of monomers and crosslinkers. We developed crystalline gels with high performance via introducing crystalline side chains into the three-dimensional network structure.In this research, our aim is to develop a novel gel fiber with a combination of functions of gel and fiber, and ultimately to develop gel nonwoven fabric. The gel nonwoven fabric is expected to have the properties such as water absorbability, biocompatibility, flexibility, and also air permeability, filtration and heat retention. The gel nonwoven fabric could be a promising material for the application in medical treatment due to its air and moisture adjustment function to prevent soaking of wound.
