EFFECT OF TRANSFER AND EMBOSS PRINTING ON ABRASION RESISTANCE AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF CHENILLE FABRICS

Abstract

Transfer and emboss printing processes, widely used in the textile industry to improve surface appearance, were examined in this study not only for their aesthetic and fastness features but also for their potential influence on the physical and structural properties of fabrics. 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.
