Comfort aspects of finished polyester-cotton and polyester-viscose ring and MJS yarn fabrics

چکیده
The influence of different experimental conditions on the thermal comfort behavior of polyester-viscose and polyester-cotton ring and MJS yarn fabrics has been studied. The results show that the yarn structure and the fibre cross-sectional shape have a large influence on improving the thermal comfort of woven fabrics. The fabrics made from MJS yarns perform better than those of the ring yarn fabrics in respect of absorbency, air and water vapour permeabilities and thermal insulation. Incorporation of non-circular polyester fibre in the mix further improves these characteristics. The chemical finishing treatment also induces noticeable changes in the thermal comfort characteristics of fabric, though the magnitudes of changes are different for different ring and MJS yarn fabrics, depending upon processing parameters used. The finished fabrics provide enhanced thermal insulation, more absorbency and lesser air and water vapour transport than the corresponding grey fabrics regardless of the yarn type. Moreover, polyester-viscose fabrics are more promising than the polyester-cotton fabrics for comfort applications expect thermal insulation.

A Study on Spinning Limits and Yarn Properties with Progressive Change in Yarn Count in Friction Spinning
The spinning limit for three different fibres (cotton, viscose rayon and polyester) on a Dref-3 friction spinning machine has been investigated. The change in yarn properties with progressive change in count has also been reported. The count range has been seen to be dependent on fibre type. As one progresses from very coarse to fine counts, the yarn tensile property remain fairly unaltered for...
متن کاملA study on the dyeing of sodium hydroxide treated polyester / cotton blend fabrics
The polyester (100%), cotton (100%) and Polyester / Cotton blend fabrics (65 / 35; 50 / 50 & 35 / 65) were treated with sodium hydroxide followed by hydrophilic finishing and dyeing to impart hygroscopic and dyeing characteristics. Then the finished fabric was tested for k/s value, fastness properties, wetting behaviour, water retention, wicking behaviour and static charge respectively. The sod...
متن کاملHot Mercerizing of Cotton/Polyester Blend Fabric Effect of Alkali Treatment Temperature on Ttensile Properties , Weight Loss and Shrinkage of Fabric
The presence of defects in cold mercerizing of cotton goods led to the creation of a new method, called hot mercerizing in which caustic soda solution is used at a high temperature. Hot mercerizing is successfully used in cotton blended with some other fibers. In cotton/polyester blend fabrics, this treatment serves a dual purpose: subjectively, it imparts a silklike soft handle to the po...
