Infl uence of the sample dimension and yarn type on the washing relaxation process of knitted fabrics

چکیده
While tailoring a garment or a technical textile, relaxation processes of a knitted fabric after production have to be taken into account. Such dimensional changes can occur during a long time of dry relaxation, during wet relaxation, or during washing relaxation, the latter having the strongest infl uence on a fabric. Besides fabric construction and yarn material, the dimensions of a knitted fabric also strongly infl uence the relaxation process. This paper shows a detailed analysis of the fi rst 50 washing cycles for different fabric dimensions and yarn parameters, comparing conventional yarns and a conductive yarn used in sensory technologies. Stitch width in different locations in fabric samples were considered for analyzing the relaxation behavior.

Effect of Laundering on the Dimensional Stability and Distortion of Knitted Fabrics
Three popular 100% cotton knitted fabrics, (plain single-jersey, 1x1 rib and interlock) were subjected to five cycles of four different washing and drying regimes. This was in order to investigate the effect of laundering with detergent as opposed to water, and tumble drying against line drying. The main aim of this work was to systematically investigate the effect of the principal washing and ...

In this paper, the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of plain knitted fabrics made from 20Ne cotton yarns, Coolmax yarn and their combinations in wet, relaxed and stretched states were studied. According to the fiber composition, fabric samples are divided into three groups including Group I (single cotton yarn), Group II (cotton/cotton combination) and Group III (Coolmax/cotton combination) ...

Curling of knitted fabrics edges is one of the complicated problems of these structures. Therefore, study and measurement of curling in knitted fabrics is important. In this study, it is tried to model the three-dimensional wale wise curl of the fabric using finite element modelling. In this model the tensions in different parts of a knitted loop due to bending and torsional forces in knitting ...

For decades, scientists have been trying to define relationships among yarn parameters, knitted fabric parameters, and knitting parameters with loop models. Recently, the geometrical loop models have returned to focus as they assist finding the effective parameters which cause dimensional changes during relaxation. Furthermore, they help designing knitted structures for technical applications a...
