Embodiment Construction
One embodiment of the subject filler material described herein is a high loft and low density (<10%-70% volume fraction) structure that can be easily cut or molded into the right shape to pack a gutter. FIG. 1A illustrates a preferred embodiment of such a product 10, and FIG. 1B shows product 10 packed into a gutter G in accordance with the invention.
A number of structure variables can be controlled to form the desired structure for product 10. In particular, fiber orientation distribution, fiber crimp and fiber diameter are the controlling elements. The ODF ψ is a function of the angle θ. The integral of the function ψ from an angle θ1 to θ2 is equal to the probability that a fiber will have an orientation between the angles θ1 to θ2. The function ψ must additionally satisfy the following conditions: ψ(θ+π)=ψ(θ)∫0πψ(θ)ⅆθ=1
To describe the alignment of the fibers, one uses a ratio known as the Anisotropy Ratio, fp defined as: fp=2〈cos2θ〉-1〈cos2θ〉=∫0πψ(θ)cos2(θr...
