Impact of Weave on Physico-Comfort Properties of Eri/Modal Union Fabric

ABSTRACT

The present work investigates the effect of weave structure on physico-comfort properties of eri silk–modal union fabrics. Three different weaves viz. twill, herringbone, and diamond were prepared in a fly shuttle loom by using the three different ratios of eri silk/modal blended yarns. In addition to the physico-mechanical properties, the comfort and functional properties of the fabric such as thermal insulation, Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF), and gloss values were evaluated using standard protocols. The results inferred that irrespective of the blend proportion, the mechanical properties of the diamond weave were found to be superior to other weaves. With the increase in modal proportion, the load-bearing capacity of fabrics got increased. It is also observed that the weave structure plays a vital role in determining the functional properties of the union fabric. The tactile, thermal, comfort, and hand values of eri/modal union fabrics showed its suitability for women’s lightweight spring garments.

摘要

研究了组织结构对eri真丝莫代尔混纺织物物理舒适性的影响. 三种不同的织物. 在有梭织机上, 采用三种不同比例的Eri/莫代混纺纱, 制备了斜纹、人字形和菱形三种纱线. 除了物理机械性能, 织物的舒适性和功能性能, 如隔热、紫外线防护系数 (UPF) 和光泽度值, 也使用标准协议进行评估. 结果表明, 无论混合比例如何, 金刚石组织的力学性能均优于其它组织. 随着模态比例的增加, 织物的承载能力提高. 织物的组织结构对织物的功能性能起着至关重要的作用. Eri/莫代尔联合面料的触感, 保暖性, 舒适性和手感表明, 它适用于女士轻便的春装.
