摘要

The growing demand for protective textiles in industrial applications has increased the importance of developing fabrics with high cut resistance and good wear comfort. This study presents a novel investigation into the effect of yarn structure and weave design on the cut-protective performance of woven fabrics made from high-performance fibres. Three types of yarn were used in fabric construction, namely 100% para-aramid staple-spun yarn, para-aramid/modacrylic/stainless-steel (PMS), and UHMWPE/polyester/stainless-steel (UPS) core-spun yarns, woven into three structures such as plain, 2/2 twill, and 6-end satin. The mechanical properties, including cut, tear, puncture, and abrasion resistance, were evaluated as per EN 388:2016 and ISO 13997 standards. Among all samples, the 6-end satin fabric made from UPS yarn showed the highest cut-protective performance (12.83 N, Level C). This performance was attributed to the higher yarn mobility of the satin structure, which allowed redistribution of localized stresses during blade movement, and to the stainless-steel core that absorbed and dissipated cutting energy through elastic–plastic deformation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that deformation of the metallic core during blade contact contributed significantly to resisting cut propagation. A two-factor factorial design analysis showed that both ends per inch (EPI) and yarn count had a statistically significant effect on cut resistance, with a notable interaction between the two parameters.
