Abstract

The research presented in this paper assessed the effects of the properties of the weft yarns having different fiber contents (such as cotton, coolmax, cordura, thermocool and elastane) and ratios and the fabric constructional parameters on certain moisture management properties of denim fabrics. The correlation between fabric constructional parameters (such as fabric thickness, fabric weight, fabric bulk density and fabric cover factor) and moisture management properties (such as wetting time (top and bottom), spreading speed (top and bottom), accumulative one-way transport capability and overall moisture management capability) were examined in accordance with different weft yarn properties. A general overview of the results showed that moisture management property of denim fabrics was affected from fiber content ratios of weft yarns and fabric properties. In addition, while these effects were found to be related to fabric thickness, fabric weight and fabric bulk density, it was found that they were not related to fabric cover factor.

ATKI İPLİĞİ LİF İÇERİKLERİNİN FARKLI YAPISAL PARAMETRELERLE DOKUNAN DENİM KUMAŞLARIN NEM YÖNETİM PERFORMANSI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Bu makalede sunulan araştırmada, farklı lif içeriğine ve oranlarına sahip olan atkı iplik özelliklerinin (pamuk, coolmax, cordura, thermocool ve elastan gibi) ve kumaş yapısal parametrelerinin denim kumaşlarının bazı nem yönetimi özelliklerine olan etkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Kumaş yapısal parametreleri (kalınlık, gramaj, yoğunluk ve örtme faktörü gibi) ve nem yönetimi özellikleri (ıslanma süresi (üst ve alt), yayma hızı (üst ve alt), kümülatif tek yönlü taşıma kabiliyeti ve genel nem yönetimi kabiliyeti) arasındaki korelasyon farklı atkı ipliği özellikleri ile ilişikli olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Genel olarak sonuçlar incelendiğinde, denim kumaşların nem yönetimi özelliklerinin atkı ipliklerinin lif içeriği ve içerik oranlarından etkilendiği ve bu etkilerin kumaş kalınlığı, kumaş gramajı ve kumaş yoğunluğu ile ilişkili olduğu gözlenirken, kumaş örtme faktörü değerleri ile arasında önemli derecede bir korelsyonun olmadığı gözlenmiştir.
