Abstract
The aim of this research is the valorization of Moroccan natural resources through the manufacturing of innovative 3D interlocks textiles. In order to investigate the potential of the sisal yarns used into 3D warp interlock fabrics, the 3D fabrics were studied at multi-scales (micro-scale, meso-scale and macro-scale). Before starting the manufacture of the 3D fabrics, different physical properties of the sisal fibers were analyzed according to standards. At the meso-scale, the mechanical and thermal properties of the sisal yarns constituting the 3D warp interlock fabric were studied according to standards. After these yarns and fibers characterizations, different types of architecture of the 3D warp interlock fabric have been designed and produced. Some difficulties have been revealed during the weaving process, which highlights the difficulty to handle the sisal yarns in order to obtain 3D fabrics to be used as a future fibrous reinforcement for composite material.
