The physical test results indicated that the fabrics knitted with coarser elastane yarn or higher rate of elastane had higher weight, thickness, bursting strength and puncture resistance. The thermal comfort properties pointed out that the fabrics including coarser elastane yarn or full plating elastane had higher thermal conductivity and thermal absorptivity values, while lower air and relative water vapour permeability.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu çalışma, farklı elastan iplik numarası ve elastan besleme oranıyla üretilmiş örme kumaşların fiziksel, mukavemet ve ısıl konfor özelliklerinin incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Fiziksel test sonuçları, daha kalın elastan numarası ya da yüksek elastan oranıyla örülen kumaşların yüksek gramaj, kalınlık, patlama mukavemeti ve delinme direncine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Isıl konfor özellikleri ise kalın elastan iplik numarası ile tam elastanlı yapıda örülmüş kumaşların daha yüksek ısıl iletkenlik ve ısıl soğurganlık değerlerine sahipken, daha düşük hava ve su buharı geçirgenliği sağladığını ortaya koymuştur.</p></trans-abstract>
