COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES OF THE CELLULOSE BASED WOVEN FABRICS
Abstract
In recent years, natural and man-made celluloses have become more important with the increase in the desire for sustainability. With the acceleration of industrialization, the consumption of resources and waste generation have increased rapidly, and the use of environmentally friendly fibers in textiles has gained importance for the reduction of environmental losses and ecological damages. This study aimed to investigate comfort and usage performance properties of the worsted fabrics which had different sustainable fibers and weft settings. Fifteen types of woven fabrics with three different weft density levels were designed, and produced with five different fiber types which were cotton, Tencel, bamboo, Promodal and eco-responsible viscose. Air permeability, spray rating, wicking and wira vapour shrinkage values were determined to compare the comfort and performance properties of the woven fabrics. Besides, FAST-2 values of the fabrics were measured from bending length according to the cantilever bending principle. According to the results, it can be said that the fabrics produced from bamboo and Tencel can be preferred for women's wear because of being more draped. In addition, fabrics made of cotton yarns showed similar shortening in the direction of weft and warp. Therefore, they may be the preferred choice for garments and end-users
