Investigation of the effects of fabric structural parameters on the roughness of coated fabrics

Abstract

In this study, the effects of the weave structures used in the base fabric on the surface roughness parameters of coated polyester fabrics were investigated. 100% polyester fabrics woven with different weft yarn densities in the basket, twill, and sateen weave patterns were coated with calcite (CaCO3), a widely used and economical filler in the textile coating. The surface properties of the fabrics were examined by evaluating various surface roughness parameters such as arithmetic average height (Ra), mean height of peaks (Rpm), and mean depth of valleys (Rvm). Warp yarn properties were kept constant to investigate the effect of changes in weave pattern and weft yarn density. Experimental results indicated that surface roughness values changed depending on the weave pattern of the base fabric, warp and weft directions, and weft yarn density. Overall, after the coating process, the Ra, Rpm, and Rvm values decreased in both the weft and warp directions.

Kumaş yapısal parametrelerinin kaplanmış kumaşların pürüzlülüğü üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada kaplamalı polyester kumaşların yüzey pürüzlülük parametreleri üzerine zemin kumaşta kullanılan dokuma yapısının etkisi incelenmiştir. Panama, dimi ve saten örgü yapılarında farklı atkı ipliği sıklıkları ile dokunan %100 polyester kumaşlar tekstil kaplamacılığında yaygın olarak kullanılan ve ekonomik bir dolgu maddesi olan kalsit (CaCO3) ile kaplanmıştır. Kumaşların yüzey özellikleri, aritmetik ortalama yükseklik (Ra), ortalama tepe yüksekliği (Rpm) ve ortalama vadi derinliği (Rvm) gibi çeşitli yüzey pürüzlülük parametreleri değerlendirilerek incelenmiştir. Örgü deseni ve atkı ipliği sıklığındaki değişimin etkisini incelemek amacıyla çözgü ipliği özellikleri sabit tutulmuştur. Deneysel sonuçlar, yüzey pürüzlülük değerlerinin zemin kumaşının desenine, çözgü ve atkı yönlerine ve atkı ipliği sıklığına bağlı olarak değiştiğini ve genel olarak kaplama işleminden sonra Ra, Rpm ve Rvm değerlerinin hem atkı hem de çözgü yönünde azaldığını göstermiştir.
