STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF KNITTED FABRICS MADE OF ULTRA-HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYETHYLENE
Keywords:
UHMWPE, knitted fabric, high-strength fiber, structural properties, technical textiles, protective clothingAbstract
The article presents the results of a study on the structural and physical properties of knitted fabrics made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) yarns. The influence of knitting parameters on surface density, thickness, and volumetric density was analyzed. It was found that loop length and loop density have a significant effect on the structure of the knitted fabric. UHMWPE knitwear combines high strength, wear resistance, and low mass, making it promising for protective and technical textile applications.
