Description

Cut Protective Textiles is a comprehensive guide to the background theory, industrial testing methods, regulations, applications and material characteristics important to those working with cut protective textiles. This book will help readers understand the pitfalls of assessing cut performance and how to translate that understanding into innovative concepts for their research or product development. Detailed coverage of the properties of cut resistant textiles includes information on fibers, yarns and fabrics, providing a valuable resource for a wide range of researchers and practitioners. The book's comparisons will help clear up confusion caused by different testing methods. Finally, the inclusion of methodologies for the creation of cut protective articles will help readers make full use of this book in a practical setting.

    Hands-down the best resource about all things related to cut protection

    Daniel Li has written a masterful, comprehensive, and tremendously detailed compendium of all things related to cut protection. As someone who suffered a near-lethal laceration little more than a year ago, I am thrilled that this book has been published and I am convinced that it will advance the field markedly. I've scoured the internet, university libraries, and countless databases to research the mechanics of cuts and the fabrics that prevent them, and I only wish this book was published when I first began my work. I am currently working to design and develop fabrics which will offer the protection I am seeking for a very niche application, and I will continue to refer to this book as my main resource. I've nicknamed it my 'Cut Protection Bible' and I remain convinced that that is how it will come to be viewed for researchers in this field. Very much looking forward to the second edition!
