Preliminary Experimental Investigation of Cut-Resistant Materials: A Biomimetic Perspective

Abstract

The objective of the work was the preliminary experimental investigation of cut-resistant materials including a biomimetic perspective. The effects of the cutting were expressed as static and dynamic cut resistance of the following materials: knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, continuously coated knitted fabrics, and dot-coated knitted fabrics. The cutting process gives rise to frictional forces, but the current test methods for cut-resistant gloves are not designed to measure them. Therefore additionally, the cut resistance of the material was evaluated using a modified procedure based on the standard EN 1082-1, taking into consideration grip strength tests to assess if there is a potential correlation between cut resistance and anti-slip properties.

“…To clearly illustrate the unique structural design and excellent properties of our SRUS textiles, a brief comparison with several representative cut‐resistant materials from recent literature is presented in Figure 8d and Table S3 (Supporting Information). [ 44–49 ] Remarkably, our SRUS textiles exhibited a unique combination of advantages in terms of three key parameters: thickness, cut resistance, and specific cut resistance. To the best of our knowledge, the overall performance of SRUS textiles has been one of the best among published studies on cut/stab‐resistant materials in recent years (Figure 8e; Table S4, Supporting Information).…”
