3-D spacer fabric construction is a newly developed concept . The fabric surfaces are strongly connected to each other bv the vertical pile fibers which are interwoven with the skins . Therefore, lhe 3-D spacer fabric can provide good skin-core debonding resistance, excellent durability and superior integrity. In addition, the interstitial space of the construction can be filled up wilh foams to provide synergistic support with vertical piles. These products have broad application prospects in automobile, Iocomotive, aerospace, marine, windmills, building and other industries.
