Study regarding the physical-mechanical properties of knits for garments – pilling performance
The effect of the pilling degradation results is an important decreasing in garment quality and a negative influence on the user’s comfort to wear. There are a lot factors, such as the yarn spinning system, fabric geometry and finishing operation, which affect the pilling performance. This research paper presents the investigation of fabric surface concerning pilling formation, especially knits, influenced by the fibrous composition. As samples were used knitted fabric panels, obtained from carded yarns, with fibers composition like cotton, wool or mixed one. Regarding fabric geometry 3 types were used – single jersey, 2x2 rib and moss stitch. In order to establish which of the yarns are mo…
Research Regarding the Physical-Mechanical Properties of Knits for Garments – Abrasion Resistance
Abstract During wear, the fabric is subjected to a complex combination of forces acting at various rates, in various intensities, in various directions and for various periods. This is one of the main causes of a fabric and garment becoming unacceptable for further wear. The main goal of this research paper is to improve the physical-mechanical properties of knits for garments by choosing the right fabric structure and raw material. The abrasion resistance is a mechanical deterioration and progressive loss of substance from a fabric, resulting from the fabric rubbing against itself or another surface. Tests was done on weft knitted fabric for garments using cotton, wool and mixed yarns, thr…
