Effects of Processing Parameters on Constant-Rate Puncture Resistance Behaviors of Compound Fabrics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of Kevlar fibers amount, number of layers, thermal bonding and fabric type on constant-rate puncture resistance of low-cost compound fabrics are discussed. Therein, compound fabrics were prepared by nonwovens and woven fabric via needle-punching and thermal bonding processes. The result shows that, Kevlar fibers amount and number of layers are both positive to improvement of puncture resistance. And thermal bonding process increases the wearer safety of puncture-resistance materials. For different kinds of fabrics, compound Kevlar fabric shows the maximum puncture resistance.
