An ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber with ultra-high cut resistance includes an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene matrix and carbon fiber powder particles dispersed therein. The content of the carbon fiber powder particles is 0.25-10 wt %. A method for preparing the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber with the ultra-high cut resistance and a cut-resistant glove woven therefrom are further provided. The test proves that the glove woven from the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber with the ultra-high cut resistance is soft and comfortable, and does not have prickling sensation. According to the test of the Standard EN388-2003, the level of the cut-resistant grade ranges from 4 to 5.

The present invention aims to provide a fabric that can improve the gripping performance of gripping of a contacted object via a glove when the fabric is made into the glove, and that can facilitate wearing and taking off the glove.

Lightweight, flexible protective fabrics for protecting a person, animal or other object from hot burning materials, hot high heat capacity and/or hot corrosive materials, such as hot molten metal, hot oily liquids (e.g., heating oil), hot gels, hot solids, hot sparks, and hot acids. The lightweight protective fabrics can be used to protect a person, animal or other object from hot molten metals, such as liquid metal zinc heated to a temperature of about 950 F. (510 C.) or greater, hot molten aluminum heated to a temperature of about 1150 F. (620 C.) or greater, burning phosphorus at temperature of about 1550 F. (843 C.) or greater, hot solid iron having a temperature of about 500 F. (260 C.) or greater, hot heating oil having a temperature of about 500 F. (260 C.) or greater, and hot hydrochloric acid having a temperature of about 300 F. (150 C.) or greater.

The present invention relates to fiber jamming systems capable of tuning tensile stiffness of soft systems within seconds without the use of high voltage or temperature changes. The systems employ segmented fibrils of interspersed segments of stretchable and non-stretchable materials. Applying a vacuum to the fibrils in an enclosed volume elicits a large interfacial shear resistance to tensile displacement. In the absence of a vacuum, the fibrils are free to stretch and bend in any direction.

The present invention relates to a para-aramid staple fiber having improved cut resistance by applying a high-elongation yarn of 4% or more, and a method for producing an aramid spun yarn using the same.
