Heat Setting Technology for the Glove of Flexible Medical Orthosis

摘要

In order to meet the curative effect,the glove of the flexible medical orthosis was designed to use nylon / spandex and polyester / spandex covered yarns to knit the glove by parts.For the purpose of confirming the best heat setting technology of the glove knitted by multicomponent materials, different heat setting technologies with different temperature and time were tested on the nylon / spandex and the polyester / spandex knitted fabrics.And the effects of the heat setting technology on dimensional stability and elastic recovery of the two kinds of fabrics were analyzed as well.The results show that in the proper range of temperature and time,dimensional stability and elastic recovery of the nylon / spandex knitted fabric become better with the increases of temperature and time.And dimensional stability of the polyester / spandex knitted fabric also turns good.But its elastic recovery doesn't change obviously.All the measured values were compared with each other.And the results indicate that dimensional stability and elastic recovery of these two kinds of fabrics both are great after the heat setting technology of temperature 180 ℃ and time 60 s.
