Manufacturing of weft-knitted fabric reinforced composite materials: A review

WOS: 000258722700002Textile composites are composed of textile reinforcements combined with a binding matrix. The available textile reinforcements are manufactured by weaving, braiding, knitting and stitching. Since the studies about weft-knitted composites began then these materials have attracted increasing attention because of their potential uses and advantages. As a basis for understanding the steps in manufacturing of weft-knitted reinforced materials, this research will be helpful as it provides information on the characteristics, specifications, manufacturing process and performance of weft-knitted fabric reinforced composites
