MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611000185 A) filed by Malaviya National Institute Of Technology, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Jan. 2, for 'a 3d orthogonal hybrid woven fabric and a composite made therefrom.'

Inventor(s) include Amar Patnaik; Vikas Kukshal; Mahavir Choudhary; Sampad Kumar Biswas; and M. S. Parmar.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a three-dimensional (3D) orthogonal woven hybrid fabric (100) and a composite material (200) formed therefrom. The fabric (100) comprises carbon fibers (102) and glass fibers (104) arranged as warp yarns (108) extending in a first direction and weft yarns (110) extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers (106) arranged as binder yarns (112) extending between opposing surfaces of the fabric (100). The binder yarns (112) pass through multiple layers of the warp yarns (108) and the weft yarns (110) and form repeated interlacing points, thereby mechanically restraining separation of yarn layers and enabling transfer of applied stresses under impact and out-of-plane loading. The invention further provides a composite material (200) in which the fabric (100) is embedded within a polymer matrix (202) to form a consolidated structure, and a method (300) for producing the fabric (100) and the composite (200). The invention provides improved resistance to delamination and enhanced load distribution."
