Table 2.

Summarization of various textile-forming methods.

Textile Method Schematic Merits Demerits
Weaving Image, table 2 Controllable size, structure and porosity;
Strong and anisotropic mechanical properties;
Excellent durability		 Relatively inextensible in the warp and weft directions but opposite in the other bias directions
Braiding Image, table 2 Excellent hierarchical organization;
High strength and stiffness along the braiding direction;
Excellent durability		 Lower porosity than woven and knitted patterns
Knitting Image, table 2 Controllable size, structure and porosity;
Easily stretchable in all the directions		 Lower Young's modulus than the other types of textiles
3D textile-forming strategy Image, table 2 3D structure;
Controllable size and porosity;
Enhanced mechanical properties along the thickness direction compared to other 2D textile patterns		 Complex fabrication system
