“…A correlation analysis ( Figure 6) of the blade cut resistance indexes, and the structural parameters of the created 3D weft-knitted materials revealed that the amount of steel wire in the structure and mass per unit area are positively related with the blade cut resistance index (r ¼ 0.99 and r ¼ 0.96-0.98 respectively). The results coincide with other researchers that cut resistance increases with the increase in thickness and weight of the fabric [1,2].…”

In this research, eight different 3D weft-knitted fabrics were developed and evaluated. 3D fabrics have been knitted on circular weft-knitting machines with two different gauges: 20E gauge and 28E gauge. Three different raw materials were used for the fabric’s production: high molecular mass polyethylene (HPPE) yarn and 0.05 mm diameter steel wire in the outer layers (for the front and reverse) and polyamide yarn in the binding layer. The experiments were conducted on the developed 3D knitted fabrics to determine the fabric’s resistance to mechanical risks such as circular blade cut, puncture, abrasion, and also to evaluate the comfort parameter, such as air permeability. It was defined that 3D weft-knitted fabrics best results on tests: circular blade cut, puncture and abrasion resistant were achieved using HPPE yarn twisted with steel wire, higher mass per unit area with more significant amount of steel wire. According to the standard EN 388:2003, three samples of developed 3D weft-knitted fabrics had the highest 5th blade cut and the highest (4th) abrasion resistance level. All of them had the highest (4th) level of puncture resistance. 3D fabrics knitted on a circular weft-knitting machine of gauge 28E ensured 1.3–2.1 times greater blade cut and 4.9–12.1 times greater abrasion resistance result, than fabrics knitted on gauge 20E, due to a higher stitch density, higher mass per unit area, density and fabric’s thickness. But on the other hand, these parameters lowered air permeability by 20.2–43.0%.

“…Awais et al [8] developed cut resistance gloves with virgin and recycled PPTA fiber and found that gloves produced from recycled fibres accomplished considerably superior cut resistance owing to the displacement of fibrils causing in dissipation of energy. Ertekin and Kirtay [9] investigated the cut resistance of gloves produced from para aramid fabrics. Cimilli et al [10] examined comfort characteristics of knitted fabrics produced from various kinds of fibers and concluded that fabric's comfort characteristics are mainly dependent on type of fiber along with properties of fabrics such as thickness, areal density and packing density.…”

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and compostable polymer obtained from annually renewable resources and is acknowledged to be sustainable and non-polluting polymer with substantial commercial prospective as a textile fiber however, there is lack of literature on apparel applications of this polymer. Therefore in this study it was aimed to develop biobased compostable gloves from PLA draw textured melt spun yarns and to examine the effect of yarn linear density, fabric structure and stitch density on thermo-physiological comfort and moisture management properties of PLA based gloves. 100 % PLA based multifilament yarns of two different linear densities were melt spun and later draw textured on false twist texturing machine to be used for gloves knitting. Single jersey and rib structures were produced with two different stitch densities to investigate their effect on thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, relative water vapour permeability, air permeability and moisture management properties of the gloves. Minitab statistical software was employed to analyze the results of test samples. The coefficients of determinations (R 2 values) presented good estimation capability of the established regression models. The outcomes of this research may be useful in determining suitable manufacturing requirements of PLA based gloves to accomplish precise thermo-physiological and moisture management properties.

“…However, 100% Kevlar fabrics exhibited higher level of cut resistance as compared to 100% PE fabrics which can be attributed to its higher modulus, yarn count and slightly higher stiffness of the Kevlar fabric. The coarser the yarn, greater is its weight, which leads to increase in cut resistance index value of fabric samples (Ertekin and Erhan Kirtay 2015). However, the change in direction of cutting does not have significant influence on the cut resistance index values (Figs.…”

Several sports, domestic, and workplace activities put personnel at a danger of injuries to their arms, hands or fingers which might be harmful superficial cuts or deep lacerations. Although the injuries incurred during domestic chores are not given much attention, whereas wounds instigated at industries (Ceballos et al. 2014; van Holland et al. 2015), sports, like snowboarding, skiing etc. (Loyd et al. 2015) and medical centers (Fritzsche et al. 2012) have attracted a great deal of researchers.
