Development of novel auxetic textile structures using high performance fibres

The present work reports the first attempt of developing auxetic structures using high performance fibres through knitting technology. Polyamide (PA) and para-aramid (p-AR) fibres and their combination were knitted in to purl structures using flatbed knitting machine, varying different structural (s...
