STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF POLYESTER/COTTON FIBER RATIO IN TEXTILE FIBERS ON SOME OF THE THERMAL AND MOIST COMFORT PROPERTIES OF INTERLOCK FABRICS

Tóm tắt

This study evaluates the effect of the polyester/cotton fiber ratio in textile fibers on some of the thermal and moist comfort properties of Interlock fabrics through the use of 04 samples of fabrics with composition ratios: 100%cotton, 65% polyester/35% cotton, 83% polyester/17% cotton, 100%polyester. The fabric samples were prepared and conditioned according to TCVN 1748:2007 (ISO 139:2005), then experimented: Determining the densityof the fabric according to TCVN 5794:1994; Determination of yarn ring length according to TCVN 5799:1994 standard; Determination of fabric thicknessaccording to TCVN 5071:2007 (ISO 5084:1996). Fabric samples afterdetermining structural parameters are determined to absorb water according to TCVN 5091:90 standard; determination of capillary capacity (fabriclongitudinal absorbency) according to AATCC TM197 standard; determination of air permeability standard TCVN 5092:2009 (ASTM D 737:2004). The results showed: The polyester/cotton fiber ratio has an effect on water absorption,capillary conductivity, and air permeability. Fabrics with a higher percentage of polyester fibers will have poor absorbency and capillary conductivity, but will have higher air permeability.
