ABSTRACT

In this research, an attempt has been taken to investigate and compare the attributes of chemically washed and laser-treated denim fabrics. With this in mind, a 3/1 left-handed twill (LHT) cotton woven denim fabric was chosen and popular types of washing effects such as whiskered, potassium permanganate (PP) spray, and acid washed effects were applied on the fabric’s surface using a commercially available industrial procedure. Furthermore, identical washing effects were carried out on fabric surface by laser treatment. The performance was investigated in terms of tensile and tearing strength, color fastness to washing and rubbing, shrinkage, fabric weight, seam slippage, and abrasion resistance with statistical evaluation through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). According to the findings, the laser-treated samples showed a significantly greater tensile properties than the chemically washed specimens, especially for acid washed effects. No substantial variation was perceived during testing of tear strength, seam slippage resistance, color fastness to washing, and color fastness to rubbing for both chemically and laser treated samples of similar appearance. Because of the involvement of additional washing processes, chemically washed fabrics exhibited a conspicuous change in shrinkage, weight, and abrasion resistance than laser treated ones which was confirmed by ANOVA.

摘要

在这项研究中,尝试调查和比较化学洗涤和激光处理牛仔布的属性。考虑到这一点,我们选择了一种 3/1 左旋斜纹 (LHT) 棉梭织牛仔布,并在织物表面应用了常见的洗涤效果类型,如须毛、高锰酸钾 (PP) 喷雾和酸洗效果。一种商业上可用的工业程序。此外,通过激光处理对织物表面进行了相同的洗涤效果。通过单因素方差分析 (ANOVA) 进行统计评估,从拉伸和撕裂强度、耐洗和摩擦色牢度、收缩率、织物重量、接缝滑移和耐磨性等方面研究性能。根据研究结果,激光处理的样品显示出比化学洗涤样品显着更高的拉伸性能,尤其是酸洗效果。在对外观相似的化学和激光处理样品的撕裂强度、接缝抗滑性、耐洗色牢度和耐摩擦色牢度进行测试期间,没有发现明显的变化。由于涉及额外的洗涤过程,化学洗涤的织物比激光处理的织物在收缩率、重量和耐磨性方面表现出明显的变化,ANOVA 证实了这一点。
