Abstract: In order to speed up the research and development of technical knitted structural materials and broaden the related application in technical textiles, the paper summarizes four main types of technical knitted structural materials, that is, warp knitted axial structure, three-dimensional spacer structure, warp knitted mesh structure and three-dimensional forming structure. In addition, the paper concludes the structural characteristics and corresponding production equipment of all kinds of materials, and emphatically introduced related application and development characteristics. Based on the current product application and actual market demand, the technical knitted structural materials have been gradually transformed from the basic textile consumer goods to high-precision, high-tech and high-profit products, which have a broad development prospect.
