The Effect of Fabric Structure and Ultrasonic Welding Process on the Performance of the Spunlace Surgical Gowns

This study investigates the effects of fabric properties and ultrasonic welding on performance surgical gowns. For this purpose, eight spunlace fabrics with different structural were provided. First, fabrics’ thickness, tensile strength, elongation at break, air permeability, drape behavior, surface friction investigated. Then sewn sewing machine. Afterward, seam permeability behavior tested. The results statistically evaluated. Based data obtained, a detailed comparison was made between respect to expectations higher polyester content in fabric, strength permeability. However, viscose-rich have softer hand are easier compared fabrics. Moreover, process leads decrease
