Performance of Core & Dual-core Cotton Yarn Structures on Denim Fabrics

ABSTRACT

Elastic structures are opted in denim fabrics to increase elasticity and recovery properties of fabrics as well as comfort properties. In this study, performance properties of denim fabrics were evaluated comparatively as tensile strength, tearing strength, air permeability, mass change, dimensional stability, seam slippage, fabric growth, and stretchability. 100% cotton, core-spun and dual-core spun yarns (Ne 16/1) used at weft direction of denim fabrics. 100% cotton ring spun yarns (Ne 13.5/1) were used as warp yarns at all produced three denim fabrics. All the test results were measured numerically and evaluated statistically with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). There was significant difference found among fabrics for the variation of weft yarn structures from the statistical evaluation. The impact of varying washing processes on the stretch and growth (%) of denim fabrics was also revealed. Core-spun yarn containing denim fabric showed more growth and stretch percentage in all forms of washing processes. It was also found that packing density of yarns had a significant effect on air permeability of fabrics.

摘要

牛仔布采用弹性结构, 以增加织物的弹性、回复性和舒适性. 本研究比较了牛仔布的拉伸强度撕裂强度、透气性、质量变化、尺寸稳定性、接缝滑移、织物生长和拉伸性能. 用于牛仔布纬纱方向的100%棉、包芯纱和双包芯纱 (Ne 16/1). 所有生产的三种牛仔布均采用100%棉环锭纱 (Ne 13.5/1) 作为经纱. 所有测试结果均采用数字测量, 并采用单因素方差分析 (ANOVA) 进行统计评估. 统计分析发现, 不同织物的纬纱结构差异显著. 还揭示了不同洗涤工艺对牛仔布拉伸和生长 (%) 的影响. 含牛仔布的包芯纱在各种洗涤过程中均表现出较高的增长率和拉伸率. 纱线的堆积密度对织物的透气性有显著影响.
