Stab resistance of woven fabrics with aramid fillament yarns

Abstract

Aramid fibers are well known as the material with high tenacity and thermal
stability. They have mainly been used for industrial applications and
especially for protecting human body against stab and ballistic threats. This
research investigated the effect of aramid fibers on the anti-stab resistance
with various specifications of filament yarns and fabric conditions. The stab
resistance properties of various fabric specimens were tested and compared
according to the NIJ standard-0115.00. With the aramid filament yarns, in
order to get the best anti-stabbing performance, we should apply thin yarn and
high density woven fabric.
