EFFECT OF YARN STRUCTURE ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SINGLE JERSEY FABRICS
Journal Title: Annals of the University of Oradea. Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Knitted fabrics are known to more complex and dimensionally sensitive structures than the woven fabrics. Variations in material, structural, mechanical processing and finishing parameters are bound to significantly influence the mechanical and comfort properties of knitted fabrics, as well as their qualities. It is obvious that the knitted fabric properties depend mainly on the constituent yarn properties and the knitting parameters. Yarns produced using various spinning technologies not only differ from one another in respect of their structures, but also in their bulk, mechanical and surface properties. The properties of the knitted fabrics produced from such yarns are bound to be influenced by their constituent yarn properties. This study was about the effect of yarn structure (ring/rotor) on some of the major mechanical properties of single jersey knitted fabrics.100% cotton carded ring and rotor yarns were spun using the same yarn parameters (count and twist) on ring spinning and rotor spinning machines using the same card sliver as the feed material. Two different single jersey fabrics were knitted using these two yarns separately using the same knitting machine and knitting parameters such as machine speed, loop length, gauge and machine diameter. These knitted fabrics were tested for their bursting strength, abrasion resistance and pilling resistance as per ASTM standards. From the results, it was found that fabric knitted using ring spun yarn was having better bursting strength and abrasion resistance than the knitted fabric knitted using rotor spun yarn.
