The Effect of Aesthetic Beauty Design on the Performance Properties of Jacquard Weft Knitted Fabrics

摘要

This study focuses on the development of rib jacquard weft knitted designs which used for manufacturing women garment and then examines the newer designs that have been created considering the aesthetic appearance of the fabric as well as the desired properties. All the samples were produced on circular machine with Rib Jacquard (RJ) system which uses revolving stacks of discs at each feed selection position. The selected yarns were interlaced in many different ways to produce various designs. Even with a cursory glance, an untrained eye could see a visual difference in designs. Much less apparent is that each design has different performance properties in spit of using the same production parameters yarn count, yarn type, structure, machine model etc. Based on the results obtained in this study, it is clear that there is a highly significant effect of the motif kind on the four studied variables thickness weight, air permeability and bursting strength values for all produced samples. The results indicated that the performance properties of the fabrics will vary depending on motif kind.
