Compression properties of knitted fabrics printed by sublimation transfer printing technique

2016

Different knitted structures and knitted parameters play a vital role in the stretch and recovery management of compression sportswear in addition to the materials use to generate this stretch and recovery behavior of the fabric. The present work was planned to predict the different performance indicators of a compression sportswear fabric with some ground parameters i.e. base yarn stitch length (polyester as base yarn and spandex as plating yarn involve to make a compression fabric) and linear density of the spandex which is a key material of any sportswear fabric. The prediction models were generated by response surface method for performance indicators such as stretch & recovery percentage, compression generated by the garment on body, total elongation on application of high power force and load generated on certain percentage extension in fabric. Certain physical properties of the fabric were also modeled using these two parameters.

The present study aimed to comparatively determine fabric spirality in single jersey knitted fabrics manufactured from different fibers and fiber blends under the same conditions as well as its effect on the efficiency of apparel manufacturing. To that end, the fabric spirality was studied for 18 different fabrics manufactured from nine different fiber blends (100% Organic Cotton, 100% Cotton, 100% Viscose, 100% Modal, 95% Viscose-5% PES, 50% Cotton-50% Viscose, 50% Modal-50% Organic Cotton, 70% Viscose-30% PES, 80% Viscose-20% PES) at 2 different knitting densities. In order to determine the effect of fabric spirality on the marker plan, a t-shirt model was selected and a total of 8 different fabric marker plans were prepared in 2 different assortments and at 3 different spirality rates. Finally fabric efficiency and the effect of spirality on unit fabric consumption were investigated for all fabric marker plans. In the end, the greatest spirality was observed for 100% viscose fabr...

Surface design is the coloring, patterning, structuring, and transformation of fabric, fiber, and other materials. Printing is a common technique used to create colored patterns on fabric. Many designs or finishes are applied to fabric surface by methods such as dyeing or printing. These methods generally hold the use of chemical finish, mechanical finish, or both. Most of these finishes create a change in the texture of the surface and hand of the fabric and in sequence the behaviour of fabric properties. The scope in this research is to determine the impact of different printing techniques on changing the textile properties behavior by seamed and non-seamed fabrics. Three printing methods were applied, the traditional methods batik printing and tie-dying printing and the third method is the digital printing. Chosen fabrics were sewn with two different stitch types in three levels of stitch lengths. The properties investigated were tensile strength and elongation, seam pucker, bending stiffness, dimensional stability and colour fastness. Results were statically analyzed and discussed. They confirmed the tight effect of the different printing methods on changing the properties under the study.

The paper presents a study of the behaviour of rib 1:1 and 2:2 knitted fabrics made of 100 % cotton yarns during different solicitations and treatments. The studied knits were grey and finished fabrics obtained on large circular knitting machines in the form of tubular metreage. Grey knitted fabrics were deposited for relaxation, 72 hours in folded condition, in an air-conditioned room in accordance with standard atmosphere parameters. After relaxation, the knits were finished in regular factory parameters and optically brightened. Several aspects were analyzed, namely: vertical density and the mass per square meter; the tesile strength in the direction of the rows of stitches, hydrophilicity and whiteness degree. For grey rib 1:1 and 2:2 knitted fabrics, the vertical density after relaxation increases by 60 % compared to the vertical density on the knitting machine. By finishing, the values of vertical density have almost double values compared to the vertical density on the knitti...

A compression sportswear fabric should have excellent stretch and recovery properties in order to improve the performance of the sportsman. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of elastane linear density and loop length on the stretch, recovery, and compression properties of the weft-knitted polyamide/elastane (PA/EL) stretchable fabrics used in sportswear. Two different tests were performed to study the stretch and recovery properties of the fabric 1st: under low power force and 2nd: cyclic loading under high tension force. Kikuhime pressure sensor was used to measure the pressure generated by different PA/EL knitted sample garment sleeves. It was found that with the increase in elastane linear density there is an increase in fabric course density, areal density, recovery percentage, and compression, and fabric stretch percentage and elongation percentage decreased in both course and wale direction. The results of fabric samples were analyzed in Minitab statistical software. The coefficients of determinations (R 2 values) of the regression equations showed good prediction ability of the developed statistical models.

Based on the models developed, the changes in unit pressure exerted by ready-made compression products were evaluated in dependence on the longitudinal rigidity, compression class, dimensional tolerance and product size. Tests made it possible to determine the maximum permissible values of longitudinal rigidity for individual compression classes and product sizes, which, if not exceeded, ensure that the pressure exerted falls within the given compression class. Experimental verification carried out on an example of a commercial compression product from the first and second compression classes showed that the main reason for the differences between the declared and experimentally determined values of unit pressure was the overestimated longitudinal rigidity of the knitted fabric and dimensional tolerance of the size ranges and errors in the design procedure, resulting from not sticking to the principle of designing the product for the middle circumference value and the middle pressur...

To study the impact on process parameter of knitted fabric

Elasticity of Materials [Working Title], 2022

A sportswear fabric should have good stretch and recovery behaviour. This study facilitates an effective design and development of high-stretch sportswear using different knitted structure. Nine types of knitted fabrics were produced by varying the type of fibre and type of structure. An experiment work is done to study the fabric size, stretch and elastic recovery properties. The statistical analysis showed that type of fibre and type of knitted structure significantly influence the fabric stretch. Plain structure fabric showed higher stretch value than rib and interlock-knitted fabric. The high stitch density caused by reduce stretch value in the course- and wale-wise due to yarn floating rather than overlapping influenced the weight and thickness of knitted fabrics. The elastic recovery analysis indicated that the recovery value of plain-knitted structure with polyester-spandex blend is higher among studied fabrics. However, the recovery value decreased over time in comparison wi...

The compact spinning system was based on the conventional ring-spinning system. The vast majority of previous work deals with the properties of compact yarn in yarn form. In this study, we inspected fabric samples knitted from compact spun yarn in comparison with fabric samples knitted from classic ring-spun yarn. Knitted double jersey fabrics from 100% combed ring-spun and compact cotton yarns of the same raw material blend were used. The pilling properties, bursting strength and abrasion resistance of these fabrics at different process steps were tested. The effects of enzymatic treatment and washing & dyeing on these fabrics were also examined.

Technical textiles are reported to be the fastest growing sector of the textile industrial sector and account for almost 19% (10 million tonnes) of the total world fibre consumption for all textile uses, totalling 53 tonnes in 1997. This figure is likely to increase to 14 million tonnes by the year 2005. Technical textiles are estimated to account for well over 40% of the total textile production in many developed countries and, at the year 2000, account for almost 20% of all textile manufacturing in China (Byrne 1997).

Single jersey (s/j) cotton knitted fabric has deformation problems and is now commonly knitted with Lycra (Spandex) yarn to improve the fabric's performance. The Lycra has a significant effect on the physical properties of the knitted fabric. This study conducts a comparative analysis of the physical properties of 100% cotton and 95% cotton-5% Lycra blended single jersey knit fabrics in both the grey and finished stages. The primary purpose of this project work is to analyze the comparison between the physical properties of grey and finished 100% cotton and cotton with Lycra single jersey knitted fabric. The physical properties of grey and finished cotton-lycra single jersey knitted fabric such as fabric weight (Grams per square meter-GSM), bursting strength, shrinkage, pilling, and abrasion resistance were investigated, and the results were compared between the 100% cotton and cotton-lycra single jersey knitted fabric at both grey and finished fabric stage. It was found that fabric weight, bursting strength, and abrasion resistance were increased for cotton-lycra blended knitted fabric. In contrast, the shrinkage percentage decreased for grey and finished cotton-lycra fabric.

In this study, " An Investigation on Different Physical Properties of Cotton Woven Fabrics " , some sample fabrics were produced with plain, 2/2 twill, 3/1 twill and 4-end satin weave structure using four different weft counts. By means of regression, the correlation coefficient and correlation between different properties of fabrics were investigated. The findings of this study revealed that the crease recovery angle and the bending length are inversely proportional to each other. It was also found that with the increasing of weft yarn counts lead to a decreasing in stiffness, abrasion resistance and increasing in crease recovery angle. The pilling and wrinkle recovery affected very low by the increase of weft yarn count and for the variation of weave structure. Plain weave was superior to other structures in stiffness where as twill weave showed higher crease recovery.

In this study, performance properties of single jersey knitted fabrics made from Aegean cotton, Supima cotton and Giza cotton yarns are investigated. Firstly, Uster parameters and breaking strength of the yarns were examined and then the properties of the fabrics knitted from these yarns were evaluated statistically. The significance levels of the relationship between the measured parameters were determined. Considering the results obtained with the mechanical properties of the fabrics with Uster analysis applied to these yarns, it is seen that the yarns made from Supima and Giza cotton fibers in extra long fiber category have more smooth, less hairiness, contain less neps and the fabrics knitted with these yarns have high mechanical properties.
