Factors Influencing The Performance Characteristics of Terry Warp-Knitted Towels
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Terry fabrics and particularly – terry towels, are among the most frequently used textile items in the world. A terry towel is described as a textile product which is made with loop pile on one or both sides generally covering the entire surface or forming stripe, checks, or other patterns. Terry fabric can be produced by warp knitting as well as by weaving. This study aims to investigate the availability of warp knitted pile fabric as a durable towel. In this paper the effects of pile yarn material, pile height, fabric structure, fabric weight and thickness on the performance characteristics of warp knitted towels are tested and reported. For this reason, Eighteen knitted towels were manufactured by terry Tricot warp knitting machine using different materials (cotton, polyester microfibers and bamboo fibers) associated with different towels purposes. Water absorption behavior, structural parameters, and mechanical properties are evaluated. The results showed that the performance characteristics related behavior of terry towel fabrics were based on their fabric constructions parameters.
