4. Functions and applications
4.1 General
-
The properties of 3D textiles can lead to a wide variety of performances, depending on the intended use of the material. There are four main types of generic functions:
• Mechanical function involving wire performance and spatial architecture.
• Exchange function for sealing and controlling friction, filtering or draining, insulating or conducting heat, sound, electricity, etc.
• Reinforcing function for a wide range of materials: elastomers, organic or inorganic matrices for composite materials.
• Protects against a wide range of stresses: electromagnetic radiation, shocks, ballistic impacts (bullets, shrapnel, etc.).
