In this paper, four kinds of UHMWPE knitted reinforcement with plain, interlock, swiss pique and purl stitches were prepared respectively to explore the influence of different knitted structures on the mechanical properties of reinforcement. The properties of each UHMWPE knitted structural reinforcement were compared by tensile, tear and puncture tests. The results show that interlock has obvious advantages over other structures in various mechanical experiments, which provides a good choice for preparing knitted structure reinforcement for composites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
