INVESTIGATION OF SOME MECHANICAL AND AIR PERMEABILITY PROPERTIES OF SHIRTING FABRICS PRODUCED FROM COMPACT YARNS MADE OF NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC FIBRES
Abstract
Shirting fabrics are one of the most demanded product groups for textile consumers. Although cotton is the most preferred fibre as the raw material of shirting fabrics, fibres such as Polyester, Elastane, viscose and their blends with cotton may also be utilized in the shirting fabrics. For the convenience usage of shirting fabrics in apparel products, those fabrics’ durability and air permeability properties should be considered in detail. Fabric constructional parameters such as weave structure, warp and weft yarn density, yarn count, fibre type are the main influential factors on shirting fabrics’ mechanical and air permeability properties. This study has been performed in order to evaluate the effect of fabric construction on some mechanical properties such as tear strength, seam strength, crease recovery angle (°) as well as on air permeability of the shirting fabrics. Throughout the study, plain, dobby and satin shirting woven fabrics were produced from the compact yarns with several combinations of cotton, linen, polyamide, viscose and elastane fibre blends. Pre-treated samples were objected to tear strength test, seam strength test, crease recovery angle (°) test and finally to air permeability test. Randomized One –Way ANOVA test was performed in order to investigate the significant effect of fabric type on some mechanical and air permeability properties of shirting fabrics at significance level of 0.05. Test results were statistically evaluated and it was generally observed that there was a significant effect of fabric type on tear strength, seam strength, crease recovery angle and on air permeability features of the shirting fabrics at significant level of 0.05.
