Fibrous and Textile Materials for Composite Applications

Abstract

Two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) fabric architectures, methods, processes and some of their properties have been reviewed in this chapter. 2D woven, braided, knitted and nonwoven fabrics are used for structural composites but they exhibit delamination between the layers. Triaxial fabrics, on the other hand, have an open structure and low fabric volume fraction. But in-plane properties of triaxial fabric are homogeneous due to ±bias yarns. 3D woven fabrics show no delamination due to the z-fibers. But, possess low in-plane mechanical properties. 3D braided fabrics also show no delamination but they have low transverse properties due to lack of transverse (filling) yarns. Multiaxis 3D knitted fabrics exhibit no delamination and, the in-plane properties are enhanced due to the ±bias yarn layers but, it has limitations for the number of layers. Similarly, multiaxis 3D woven fabrics also have multiple layers and suffer no delamination due to the z-fibers and in-plane properties are enhanced due to ±bias yarn layers. However, multiaxis 3D technique is still in its early stages of development and this is the future technological challenge in multiaxis 3D preform fabrication for composite application.
