An interesting layered structure, the so-called knitting pattern, was found in BCP SA [8]. The structure has been observed in frustrated ABC triblock terpolymers both experimentally and theoretically, where repulsive interactions between the two terminal blocks are weaker than those between middle block and terminal blocks. The morphology is regarded as a metastable state because the structure formation is driven by the relatively poor solvent miscibility of the middle block [8]. The middle block constitutes cylinders bridging wavy lamellae generated via agglomeration in a poor solvent. 

Knitting The yam loops (also known as stitches) are formed using needles to manufacture 3D preforms. There are many patterns and types of knitting available. The major advantage of knitted preforms is that they can be draped on complicated mold surfaces with no significant wrinkles due to the enhanced formability of the fiber structure. 

Fashion Many materials, which could not be used into traditional woven/knitted fabrics, might be formed into nonwoven fabrics such nonwoven materials could be directly used as creative fashion materials to create elegant style and functional patterns by employing its versatility in structure and properties, which provides a different taste of existing woven and knitted apparel.
