Preliminary Study of Puncture-Resisting Needle-Punched 3D Composites with Varying Reinforcements

Abstract:

Logistics industry becomes the mainstream with promotion of life quality. The selection of delivery type and aging is subjected to limitations of packaging materials. In order to protect from product’s damage, this study purposes to use recycled high-strength fibers, including high-strength PET fiber, and Kevlar fibers, and thermal bonding PET fiber as well as glass fabric forming needle-punched 3D composite. For comparison of varying reinforcement on mechanical property, thermal bonding and water polyurethane impregnation are used to reinforce the 3D composite which is composed of nonwoven fabrics and glass fabrics. Result shows that, mechanical property from water polyurethane impregnation displayed much higher than that from thermal bonding. Thermal bonding remarkably improved burst strength and static puncture resistance. Therefore, 3D composite impregnated with water polyurethane reaches higher puncture protection level.
