Personal Protective Equipment01:20

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:
Classification and Mechanical Properties of Synthetic Polymers01:28

Classification and Mechanical Properties of Synthetic Polymers

Synthetic polymers are classified as elastomers, fibers, or plastics based on their crystallinity. Crystallinity, the degree of long-range order in the solid state, influences the mechanical properties (stretching or contracting) of elastomers. Elastomers are flexible polymers that can expand or contract easily upon the application of an external force. They have numerous crosslinks that pull them back into their original shape when stress is removed. Silicones, for instance, are highly elastic...

Area of Science:

  • Textile Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Ergonomics

Background:

  • Traditional sewn gloves suffer from bulky seams, heavy materials, and restricted flexibility.
  • Existing protective gloves often compromise wearer comfort and dexterity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop multi-functional knitted protective gloves with zoned properties.
  • To evaluate the performance and comfort of the novel knitted gloves.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized computerized flat knitting for seamless glove construction.
  • Incorporated zoned functional areas (reinforcement, non-slip, impact, elastic, breathable) with specific knitting structures (e.g., air-layer tuck stitch, spacer fabric).
  • Conducted subjective and objective evaluations of hand strength, fatigue, flexibility, and protective functions.

Main Results:

  • Developed zoned knitted gloves with distinct functional areas and corresponding knitting structures.
  • Achieved excellent cut resistance, slip resistance, and impact protection.
  • Demonstrated minimal negative impact on hand strength, fatigue, and flexibility.

Conclusions:

  • Computerized flat knitting enables the creation of comfortable, high-performance, multi-functional protective gloves.
  • The zoned design optimizes comfort and protection, providing a reference for future glove development.
