Within this scope, the effects of different industrial finishing processes applied to polyester chenille fabrics with two different pile heights on fabric thickness, elongation behavior, and abrasion resistance were investigated. Finishing routes consisting of stentering followed by sequential transfer and emboss printing were applied to evaluate their effects. Results showed that the finishing process was important factor on fabric thickness, and the application of transfer and emboss printing after stentering decreased thickness while improving abrasion performance. Elongation values remained below 10% in all fabrics, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed that the finishing process had a significant effect on dimensional stability, whereas chenille yarn type had an insignificant effect. Abrasion resistance analyses similarly highlighted the significant role of the finishing process. Overall, the findings provide valuable insight into the structural effects of transfer and emboss printing on chenille fabrics and offer practical guidance for process optimization and material selection, while serving as a reference for the industrial design and applications of similar fabrics.

Bu kapsamda, iki farklı hav yüksekliğine sahip polyester şenil kumaşlara uygulanan farklı endüstriyel bitim işlemlerinin kumaş kalınlığı, uzama davranışı ve aşınma direnci üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Ramöz işlemi ile birlikte transfer ve kabartma baskının ardışık olarak uygulandığı bitim rotaların etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, bitim işlemlerinin kumaş kalınlığını etkileyen önemli bir faktör olduğunu ve ramöz sonrası transfer ve kabartma baskı uygulamalarının kalınlığını azalttığı ve aşınma dayanımını iyileştirdiğini göstermiştir. Uzama değerleri tüm kumaşlarda %10’un altında olup, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) bitim işleminin boyutsal davranış üzerinde anlamlı, şenil iplik tipinin ise anlamsız etkisini doğrulamıştır. Aşınma direnci analizleri de benzer şekilde bitim işleminin önemli rolünü ortaya koymuştur. Genel olarak elde edilen bulgular, şenil kumaşlarda transfer ve kabartma baskının yapısal etkilerine ilişkin önemli bilgiler sunmakta olup, işlem optimizasyonu ve malzeme seçimi açısından pratik katkılar sağlarken, benzer kumaşların endüstriyel tasarımı ve uygulamaları için referans niteliğindedir.
