Triaxially Woven Fabrics of Kevlar, Dacron Polyester and Hybrids of Kevlar and Dacron Polyester

Abstract

To provide data for possible LTA (Lighter Than Air) application, four triaxially woven fabrics were made using yarns of: (1) Kevlar aramid, (2) Dacron polyester and (3) hybrids of aramid and polyester. The woven triaxial fabrics were coated with urethane. The material samples were characterized by removal and test of specimens. The test matrix included creasing and environmental conditioning tests.
