Summary
In this study, performance properties of single jersey knitted fabrics made from viscose, modal, lyocell and cupro yarns are investigated. Performance properties of the fabrics such as fabric weight per unit area, thickness, bursting strength, abrasion resistance, fabric stretch, porosity, air permeability and pilling were evaluated statistically and the importance levels of the relationship between the measured parameters were determined. The highest air permeability value is obtained from cupro fabrics. The highest bursting strength is obtained from lyocell fabrics whereas modal fabrics showed highest abrasion resistance. The results revealed that fiber type is an effective parameter with regard to physical properties of the fabrics.
