Abstract:

The article comprehensively reviews some significant researches in the weaving of functional fabrics. Conventional 3D woven T-shaped preforms were modified for improving joint/peel-off strength of associated T-shaped polymeric composites. Preforms were modified at weaving level by preferred yarns orientations for better performance in associated composites. Major modifications studied are; the addition of supporting layer, single or double-crossing in joint layers, and crossing along with supporting layer (in a single sample). The tapered circular tubular (TCT) woven fabric has been applied successfully as the components in vascular prostheses. The application of tapered tubular woven fabric based on the existing weaving technology requires the densification of a large end to ensure porosity uniformity through the tapered tubule. Although the previously proposed equal-cover-factor (ECF) design technique overcame some disadvantages of the conventional densification methods, such as the protruding portions of the dropped yarns as well as the change of both fabric porosity and tensile strength, the off-loom weft density significantly deviates from the on-loom value.
