Abstract

Application fields of cut resistant textile are very wide, such as, workplace, sports, transportation, and military. With the requirement of lightweight and comfortable cut-proof clothes, the knitted fabric has the advantages of its structure, which is more and more widely used. The common four forms of yarn in the knitting structure is held loop, tuck loop, float loop, and free yarn. The cut resistant mechanism of fabric is much more complex, due to their fiber and yarn intrinsic properties and fabric structure. So, cut test of fiber, yarn, and fabric is necessary, while no established standard for the cut testing of fiber or yarns exists, there are three standards used to evaluate the cut resistance of knitted or woven fabrics used in protective clothing: BS EN 388, ASTMF1790, ISO13997. Now, there are simple models on cut resistance of fabric, consisting of forces in the cutting process and contact area. There are still a lot of work to continue to get a thorough understanding of mechanism of fabric’s cut resistance.
