Abstract
Over the past few years, multiaxial warp-knitted (MWK) fabrics have made significant inroads into the industrial composites arena. The use of MWK fabrics can lead to cost savings in the manufacture of composite components, and the uncrimped nature of the yarn can also produce improved mechanical performance when compared to traditional woven fabrics. MWK fabrics have a wide application scope ranging from geotextiles, pneumatic materials and construction to automobiles and aerospace-quality components as well as vessel-body parts due to their desired mechanical properties, and flexibility in design and low production cost. This chapter explains the structure, manufacturing methods, properties and advantages of multiaxial warp-knitted fabrics.
