Optimising performance behaviour of different knit structure fabric knitted from ring and air-jet yarns

摘要

Since the fabric range for knitting structures has witnessed an increasing demand to the various known textile materials, by the steady improvement of machineries and manufacturing processes, the work fundamental for a total study would be over the top. Consequently, the present study has been kept totally reserved for fabrics reasonable for clothing purposes, in which weight and thickness are of equivalent significance appearance, quality and different in fabrics for unique purposes. It was concluded that machine parameters, knitted structures and raw material affecting knitted fabric properties. Increase in stitch length reduces the GSM of the knitted fabric, reduces the tensile strength, reduction in tearing and bursting strength also observed. Fleece knitted structure performing better in terms of tensile, bursting and tearing strength. Ring yarn knitted performing better than air-jet yarn knitted fabric. Improved rubbing and washing fastness properties are observed for air-jet knitted fabric than ring yarn knitted fabrics.
