The cut-resistant composite yarn, the companion yarn,
and the lining yarn are co-knit in the glove with the lin-
ing yarn plated on the interior of the glove and the cut-
resistant composite yarn and companion yarn forming
the exterior of the glove.
13.5.10 Hyperbranched Aramids
When monomers of the AB
2
types are used, hyper-
branched polymers will be formed on polymeriza-
tion [13]. The polymers can be employed to initiate
bismaleimide polymerization. Another application of
these polymers is to increase the toughness for ther-
mosets such as bismaleimide polymers and epoxies.
