With the development and upgrading of military modernization, military textiles gradual development of a set of functions into one flexible device, resist, to maximize protection injury and monitoring. Military non-woven material can be broadly divided into four categories, personal protective clothing, such as combat uniforms, bulletproof vests, chemical warfare suits, one-time training uniform, cap, belt, fire gloves, etc.; equipment supplies, such as gas masks, tents, parachutes, to avoid the dust cover, cleaning cloth, etc.; Third, the military health care products, such as disposable surgical gowns, gauze, masks, bandages; construction protective materials, such as camouflage nets, bunkers, anti-reconnaissance wall fabrics and so on.
The development of non-woven materials in terms of function and quality has made remarkable progress, and adapt to the characteristics of modern warfare, compared to traditional textile production process short, wide use, high efficiency, and in some areas a significant competitive advantage. Non-woven materials in the scope of application of the military aspects of being expanded, the amount also enhance development prospects are very bright.
personal protective clothing is very important to improve the military viability with anti-biochemical, radiation protection, anti-reconnaissance, as camouflage and lightweight body is small, high comfort and easy maintenance requirements, depending on the environment, respectively, non-woven material has been widely used. Nonwoven military fighting services, a polyamide, a polyester fiber and kevlar fiber blend of development than the machine woven polyamide, cotton blended fabric is 45% lighter and abrasion resistance is better; DuPont developed a military helmet, using the new high-strength aramid composite materials, lighter bulletproof better. Cold jacket fluffy cotton wool cape-style raincoat, cold two to be used as a liner gloves, bedding, acupuncture polyester material used to grip the bayonets and barbed wire cut resistant gloves, shoes used as gaskets and cushioning insole.
Digital development of modern warfare, military non-woven material put forward higher requirements. Military non-woven technology development towards intelligent and high-performance antistatic function, the first is to strengthen the development of specialty fibers, the General Logistics Department Quartermaster Equipment Institute developed a special composite wire, woven into the fabric so that it is comfortable to wear, anti- static, washable and quick-drying performance; nanofibers can be made anti-microwave radiation, stealth, smart clothing and equipment. The second is to strengthen the application of high-tech, nano-technology is a matter of a very exciting field, can be used to enhance many areas of composite materials, biomedical materials, electronic devices, sensing materials; composite technology, such as the use of carbon fiber, aramid fiber, non-woven composite materials such as glass fiber manufacturing, alternative metals such as steel and aluminum manufacture of military equipment and components, and can also be used for a variety of fighter jets, missiles, rockets. Strengthen finishing technology development, protection of military non-woven material the use of finishing, such as flame retardant finishing, antibacterial resistance finish, the new printing process can be realized camouflage effect.
