The aim of this study is to investigate the physical properties of hybrid yarns containing copper wire which are produced with 5 different production methods at three different twist levels. In this study, tenacity, breaking elongation and Young modulus values of hybrid yarns were evaluated comparatively. Also copper visibility ratio (CVR) values of hybrid yarns on the fabric surface were determined by using image thresholding method in CIELab color space.}, number={89}, publisher={Tekstil Mühendisleri Odası}
