Three-dimensional textile preforms are continuous fiber assemblies which are fully integrated with multi-axial in-plane and though-the-lhickness fiber orientations. Ko (1989) and Chou (1992) presented comprehensive reviews on this topic, and a brief summary is given in this section. Composites containing three-dimensional textile preforms display many unique advantages which are absent in traditional two-dimensional laminate composites, and they include ...

This section examines the advantages and disadvantages of using three-dimensional textile preforms, especially through-the-thickness stitches, as the reinforcements for composites. Their major mechanical properties are compared with those of conventional two-dimensional composites, such as strength, stiffness, interlaminar properties, impact resistance and tolerance, etc. Dransfield et al. (1994) have recently given a useful review on the improvement of interlaminar fracture toughness of stitched composites.

Since the surface imprint is very thin (about 0.02 mm) the depth of focus is usually much better than in direct microscopy of the uneven, three-dimensional textile surface and possible fibre lustre and transparency do not interfere. In direct microscopy with reflected light the image is usually not sharp because the fibre interior and the underside of the fibre also reflect light.

The membrane materials used today have only limited barrier properties. Noise or IR radiation can easily penetrate the material. Multi-layered structures composed of supporting textile fabrics and polymeric coatings combined with, e.g., three-dimensional textile structures can improve thermal radiation. Humidity and temperature control are under development.

Another approach to create a compliant and elastomeric prosthesis is to design a multilayered structure. After all, the structure of a natural artery is multilayered, with each layer of the media and adventitia serving a different, clearly identifiable mechanical role. By harnessing the latest three dimensional textile knitting and weaving technologies, our laboratory is investigating the scope and limitations of this approach. ...
