“…The textile–silicone composites had increased tensile stress up to 315% as compared to the silicone control samples. Xu et al [ 31 ] had similar findings in that the tensile strength of fabric rubber composites was enhanced by 69–386% with the reinforcement of different fabrics. As compared with the powernet fabric itself, Fabric A and Fabric B showed enhancements of up to 161.9% and 352.2% in maximum tensile load, respectively, when incorporated into a silicone layer.…”

Conventional cushioning materials such as silicone sheets which have been recommended for resisting impact generally cause discomfort to the wearer from heat and perspiration. With the increasing need for personal protective equipment, textile–silicone composite structures are proposed in this study to reduce acute impact and moisture while enhancing thermal comfort. The influence of the composite structure and thickness on the mechanical and thermal properties of textile–silicone materials are systematically investigated. The results show that an additional knitted powernet fabric as a composite material can significantly improve the tensile properties of silicone rubber by up to 315%. However, only a slight improvement is found in the thermal conductivity (up to 16%), compression elasticity (up to 18%) and force reduction performance (up to 3.6%). As compared to inlaid spacer fabric, which has also been used for cushioning and preserving thermal comfort, the textile–silicone composites have higher tensile and compression elasticity, exhibit force reduction with the largest difference of 43% and are more thermally conductive, with increases more than 38%. The findings of this study introduced a cost-effective new silicone–textile composite for optimal impact protection and wear comfort for protective applications.

“…The 2D diagrams of the deformation are displayed in Figure b,c, and the surface morphology of the samples after drafting is shown in Figure a–d. The deformation behavior of nonwovens displays a nonlinear nature, and the load increases with increasing elongation during unidirectional stretching, , as indicated by the red arrows. In addition, nonwoven deformation behavior is also divided into elastic and plastic deformation .…”

Elastic fabric bandages exhibit great potential in covering the body contours due to their tensile and comfort performance being well-regulated by their fibrous structure. However, achieving low-coast and facile preparation methods for the fabric bandage with directional tensile performance remains a significant challenge. In this work, a cellulose/polyester composite fabric reinforced by polyolefin−elastomer filament webs (CEL/PET@ POE composite fabrics) was developed by a green and commercialized manufacturing strategy involving a laminating, cross-lapping, and needle-punching process. The resultant composited fabrics possess a multilayered fibrous morphology where fibers are aligned at −45°, 0°(along the longitude direction, i.e., length direction of the fabrics), and +45°. Besides, the POE filaments interweave amid the cellulose/polyester fibrous clusters, resulting in a stable network fibrous structure that offers excellent anisotropic elastic performance and directional extension performance. The fabric displays a breaking strength and elongation in the cross direction that are 2.7 and 0.55 times greater, respectively, compared to those in the machine direction. Moreover, the samples demonstrate brilliant breathability, excellent wearing comfort, and outstanding shape ability. These findings suggest that the prepared CEL/PET@POE composite fabric provides a powerful foundation for a series of potential applications in wearable medical hygiene, such as bandages, electronic textiles, and padding materials.

“…Wei et al [35] employed natural infiltration to introduce epoxy resin into the 316L stainless steel lattice structure fabricated via selective laser melting. Xu et al [36,37] produced a novel rubber-reinforced composite material using a woven lattice structure as the skeleton and rubber as the interpenetrating matrix, displaying a strong Mullins effect. Hajarian et al [38] constructed a composite skin composed of two layers of silicone elastomer and one layer of nylon weft weave.…”

This work aims to significantly improve the mechanical properties of conventional rigid lattice structures under repeatable large deformations. A novel hybrid material is proposed based on the concept of interpenetrating composite materials. The material utilizes a woven TC4 orthogonal spiral wire mesh as the skeleton and PU elastomer (OSWM‐PU) as the matrix. The uniaxial tensile tests demonstrate that OSWM‐PU possesses the excellent load‐bearing capacity, allowing for large deformations (≥ 60%) while maintaining partial integrity even after matrix fracture. Optical measurements and simulation analysis reveal that Poisson’s ratio can be adjusted within a certain range by manipulating the microscopic parameters (p, d) of the longitudinal helical filaments. Cyclic tensile experiments further demonstrate that OSWM‐PU exhibits exceptional energy absorption performance, multiple energy dissipation modes, and a more pronounced Mullins effect. The stress relaxation experiment reveals the significant influence of the volume fraction of the skeleton on long‐term loading conditions. The orthogonal spiral wire skeleton exhibits a superior hooking effect without dividing the matrix, enabling OSWM‐PU to possess enhanced collaborative deformation capability and inherent designability in the orthogonal direction. These characteristics make it highly promising for applications in various robot joints and as flexible aircraft skin, offering excellent prospects for utilization.This article is protected by copyright.
