A Research on the Mechanical and Comfort Properties of Fabrics Made From Different Cotton Species
Project no. 1295 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
Today, the differentiation of textile products and usage area, fiber, yarn and fabric developments have made important changes in quality, mechanical properties and comfort properties of products. Over time, functional improvements in textile products and improving quality features have increased user expectations. Because today human health and human ecology is more important, moisture absorbing, keep the body dry, which eliminates the health risks, protect the body against knocks, durable products to mechanical impact pass in front of traditional products The users are oriented towards the products that give motion comfort, act as a thermoregulation system against environmental temperature change and feel the psychological pleasure with their appearance, aesthetics and attitude characteristics. There are a wide variety of fibers (conventional and new generation) in use and products made from these fibers. But the users are in search of new and more useful fiber and product. In the World, fiber, fabric, apparel market is very wide. So Turkey is an important country in this market, it should further strengthen its position. and should lead to new raw materials and products In this research, performance, comfort and moisture transmission properties of yarns and knitted fabrics produced from Aegean cotton, extra long staple American cotton (Supima) and extra long staple Egyptian cotton (Giza) were examined. Keywords: Extra long staple cotton, bursting strength, thermal comfort, air permeability, Moisture Management Tester (MMT)
