The cut-resistant yarn structure (130,170) comprises a core-spun yarn (135) comprising a first cut-resistant core filament (132) and staple fibers (134) spun over the first cut-resistant core filament (132), a covering yarn (139) comprising a second cut-resistant core filament (136) and a first covering layer (138) wound over the second cut-resistant core filament (136), where the first covering layer (138) comprises a first filament and a second covering layer (140) wound over the core-spun yarn (135) and the covering yarn (139), where the second covering layer (140) comprises a second filament. The cut-resistant composite yarn structure can be used to manufacture cut-resistant cloth which may in turn be used to manufacture cut-resistant garments such as cut-resistant gloves, cut-resistant sleeves and other cut-resistant garments.

A thin coated supported glove and method of making the glove includes a thin knitted liner, including a plurality of finger components, a thumb component, a backhand component, and a palm component, wherein the thin knitted liner comprises a covered yarn including a tungsten core having a diameter of about 25-35 micrometers, a polyamide wrapping yarn disposed upon the tungsten core, and a high performance polyethylene wrapping yarn disposed upon the polyamide wrapping yarn, wherein the covered yarn is (350) denier or less; a second yarn, wherein the second yarn is an intermingled yarn of (115) denier or less; and a thin polymeric coating adhered to the thin knitted liner.

A cut resistant fabric and a method of manufacturing a cut resistant fiber is disclosed herein. The fabric comprises a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) material and a sheet shaped wollastonite filler. The sheet shaped wollastonite filler is treated with a coupling agent and mixed with the UHMWPE material. A thickness of the sheet shaped wollastonite filler is less than 10 micrometers (μm). The method comprises providing the sheet shaped wollastonite filler having a thickness of less than 10 μm and treating the sheet shaped wollastonite filler with a coupling agent at a first predefined temperature to obtain a uniform solution. The method further comprises mixing the uniform solution with a fiber solution comprising UHMWPE resin at a second predefined temperature.

A method for producing a knitted fabric part which is knitted from at least one thread and which in one or a plurality of regions on the knitted fabric external side and/or the knitted fabric internal side is equipped with a coating, wherein, for configuring the coating, a material comprising free-flowing particles is applied in the region to the knitted fabric, said material subsequently being melted or fused by heating, whereupon the material is cooled while forming the coating.

An all-fabric iontronic supercapacitive pressure sensing device utilizing a novel iontronic nanofabric as the sensing element is disclosed. The sensing device can be applied in several various wearable health and biomedical applications on complex body topologies. As an alternative to conventional flexible sensors, the all-fabric iontronic pressure sensor provides an ultrahigh device sensitivity with a single Pascale resolution. The device also allows rapid mechanical responses (in the milliseconds range) for high-frequency biomechanical signals, e.g., blood pressure pulses and body movements. The fabrication process for the device is low-cost highly compatible with existing industrial manufacturing processes.

Cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant yarns including blends of technical fibers and mineral, inorganic, or ceramic fibers of substantially the same length as the technical fibers, and methods for manufacturing yarns, are disclosed.

A task is to provide a cloth and a fiber product, which exhibit not only stretchability but also novel appearance and novel hand due to ununiformity of the appearance and hand, and the task is achieved by forming a cloth with a crimped fiber containing two or more types of single fibers which are different from each other, and having a torque of 30 T/m or less.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth and a protective product that have lightweight properties, wearing comfort, and further protection performance against electric arcs. A means for resolution is a cloth including a spun yarn containing a meta-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, wherein the cloth has a lightness index L-value of 25 or less.

Aspects herein include a knit component having a non-reflective portion formed from a first knit segment that is knit with the first yarn and the second yarn in a plated relationship, where the first yarn forms the non-reflective portion on a technical face of the knit component. A reflective portion is formed from a second knit segment that is knit with the second yarn, where the second yarn forming the reflective portion is on the technical face of the knit component. The second knit segment is integrally knit with the first knit segment along the knit course.

Proposed are a high tenacity yarn and a method of manufacturing a glove using the same. More particularly, proposed are a high tenacity yarn capable of being knitted finely and thinly and having a high tenacity even if a metallic yarn is used as a core of a main yarn, and a method of manufacturing a glove using the same. To this end, the high tenacity yarn includes a core yarn and a covering yarn wound on a circumference of the core yarn. The core yarn includes a first core yarn part formed of a metal component and a second core yarn part formed of a metal component, and a total thickness of the first core yarn part and the second core yarn part is formed to be 0.07 mm or less.
