Abstract

In this study, comfort and moisture transmission properties of fine shirting fabrics produced by combining widely used fibre types of viscose, PES and cotton with acrylic fiber were investigated. For this purpose, 10 different fabrics were woven with viscose warp and cotton, PES, viscose, acrylic, cotton/acrylic, viscose/acrylic, and PES/acrylic weft yarns and with plain and etamine weaves. Thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, thermal absorbtivity, air permeability and moisture transmission properties of fabrics were measured and the results then evaluated statistically. According to the results obtained, thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, thermal absorbtivity and air permeability properties of fabrics were not affected by material type and addition of acrylic yarns, but weaving type showed a significant effect on these fabric properties. It was also seen that material type and acrylic yarn usage in the fabrics influenced moisture management properties of fabrics and increased OMMC values.

GÖMLEKLİK DOKUMA KUMAŞLARDA AKRİLİK İPLİK KULLANIMININ KUMAŞLARIN TERMAL KONFOR VE NEM İLETİM ÖZELLİKLERİNE ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, ince gömleklik dokuma kumaşlarda kullanılmayan bir elyaf türü olan akrilik iplikler ile yaygın olarak kullanılan pamuk, viskon ve PES ipliklerin birlikte kullanıldığı gömleklik dokuma kumaşların termal konfor ve nem iletim özellikleri incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla piyasada gömleklik olarak kullanılan viskon çözgü iplikleri ile atkıda, pamuk, viskon, PES, akrilik, pamuk/akrilik, viskon/akrilik ve PES/akrilik iplikler kullanılarak bezayağı ve etamin örgüde on farklı gömleklik dokuma kumaş üretilmiştir. Kumaşların termal direnç, termal iletkenlik, termal absorbsiyon ve hava geçirgenliği özellikleri ile nem iletim yetenekleri test edilmiş ve sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, kumaşların termal direnç, termal iletkenlik, termal absorbsiyon ve hava geçirgenliği özellikleri üzerinde kullanılan lif tipinin ve atkıda akrilik ilavesinin etkisi görülmezken, örgü tipinin bu özelliklere etkisinin olduğu görülmüştür. Deneysel kumaşlarda kullanılan lif tipinin ve akrilik iplik kullanımının kumaşların nem iletim özelliklerine etki ettiği ve OMMC değerlerini arttırdığı gözlenmiştir.
