Plain-weave fabrics demonstrate better cut resistance compared to twill-weave fabrics, with satin-weave fabrics having the poorest performance. This is due to the greater number of interlacing points and double-sided covering in plain weave, compared to the single-sided covering in twill and satin weaves. Under external force, the total friction between the yarns in plain-weave fabric is maximized, providing superior protective performance.

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fabrics require surface modification because their chemical stability, low surface energy, low surface tension, and poor hydrophilicity limit their broad usage in certain applications. Surface modification can enhance the fabric's functionality, such as improving its adhesion to antimicrobial agents and increasing hydrophilicity, which in turn enhances comfort and antimicrobial properties. This improvement has significant economic value and social importance in developing UHMWPE fabrics that are both comfortable and antimicrobial.

UHMWPE fibers are primarily used as the base material in high-performance fiber-reinforced composites for puncture resistance. Due to their superior mechanical properties and excellent chemical resistance, these composites are widely used in manufacturing personal protective equipment such as stab-resistant and bulletproof vests. The high modulus and fracture energy of UHMWPE fibers make them excellent for puncture resistance, as they can quickly absorb energy during impacts to provide effective protection. Additionally, UHMWPE fibers can be combined with shear-thickening fluids (STF) to further enhance their puncture resistance, offering superior protection when the protective gear is subjected to high-speed impacts.

UHMW polyethylene sheets are produced through a process called compression molding or extrusion. The process involves heating UHMWPE resin and forming it into sheets, resulting in a dense, durable material that can be cut and machined for various applications.

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber is a strong, lightweight synthetic fiber made from extremely long chains of polyethylene molecules. It is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, abrasion resistance, and low friction properties, making it suitable for various demanding applications.

UHMW polyethylene sheets can be easily cut, drilled, and machined using standard tools. They can also be welded or bonded with compatible adhesives, allowing for customization in various applications, from industrial components to protective barriers.

UHMWPE material outperforms many other plastic materials in terms of abrasion resistance, impact strength, and low friction properties. Unlike traditional polyethylene, UHMWPE materialhas significantly higher molecular weight, which enhances its overall performance in demanding applications.
