Thermophysiological comfort and performance properties of knitted fabrics produced from different spinning technologies

摘要

In this study, it was intended to investigate the effects of yarn spinning technology on knitted fabric thermophysiological comfort and performance properties. For this aim, three different 100% cotton Ne 16/1 yarn samples were produced with different spinning technologies namely, combed ring, compact and sirospun. Then six knitted fabric samples were produced with two different loop lengths. In the context of this study, air permeability and water vapour permeability tests were done as thermophysiological comfort tests, pilling resistance and abrasion resistance tests were performed as performance tests. In order to understand the statistical importance of spinning technology and loop length on knitted fabric properties, ANOVA was performed. According to the results, it is seen that spinning technology and loop length have important effects on observed properties.
