Analysis the Physical Properties of Twill Derivatives: A Case Study

Abstract

Predict on physical properties of some derivatives of plain and twill weave is very crucial in textile areas. The main approach of this study is to produce plain and twill weave derivatives in rapier loom and estimate the physical properties by comparing with the quality of same yarn count, EPI, PPI and cover factor for different weave designs. From this study, it is found that the physical properties of Brighton honeycomb structure are better than other twill as well as plain derivatives of our test samples. According to test it is clear that the weave structures influence the fabric quality like Tensile strength, Drape Co-efficient, Air permeability and Fabric thickness. These tests help to control of process, quality of product and in the development of the process.

Introduction

Introduction

Woven fabric is mostly used among all other fabrics because of its versatile application for clothing, industrial, commercial and other technical purposes [1]. Though Bangladesh is an auspicious land of textile production, the demand of woven cloth is comparatively less than the knitted one [2].

A woven cloth is formed by the interlacement of two sets of yarns, namely, warp and weft yarns. These yarns are interlaced with one another according to the type of weave or design. The warp yarns are those that run longitudinally along the length of the fabric and the weft yarns are those that run transversely across the fabric. For the sake of the convenience, the warp yarns are termed as ends and the weft as picks or fillings [3]. Large numbers of weave structures are applied in weaving industries like plain, twill, satin etc. with a great variety of derivatives to serve different purposes [4]. Twill weave is one of the main elementary weaves (along with plain, sateen and satin). Characteristically, it produces diagonal lines on the face of the fabric. The weft yarn is passed over one or more warp yarns and then under two or more warp yarns and so on [5]. In rapier loom, an updated weft insertion system is being used. The gripper heads are attached to rapiers which are flexible tapes or rigid rods. Insertion of weft by rapier is a mechanically modern and refined version of the primitive method of fabric production in which the weft was secured in a slot of stick [6]. The void volume in woven textile fabrics causes air permeability. The air permeability of a textile fabric is determined by the rate of air flow through a material under differential pressure between two fabric surfaces. It is generally expressed in SI unit as cm3/cm2/sec. The prescribe pressure differential is 10mm of water [7].

Tensile strength is used to determine the behavior of a sample while under and axial stretching load. From this, the breaking load and elongation can be obtained. The principle of the tensile strength test is simple where the test piece is held in two or more places and extended until it breaks [8]. The drape is the term used to describe the way a fabric hangs under its own weight. It has an important bearing on how good a garment looks in use. The draping qualities required from a piece of fabric will differ completely depending on its end use, therefore a given value for drape cannot be classified as either good or bad. Woven fabrics are relatively stiff when compared with knitted fabrics so that they are used in tailored clothing where the fabric hangs away from the body and disguises its contours. Measurement of a fabric drape is meant to assess its ability to do this and also its ability to hang in graceful curves [8]. The air permeability of a fabric is influenced by several factors: the type of fabric structure, the design of a woven, the number of warp and weft yarns per cm or inch, the amount of twist in the yarns and type of yarn structures [9]. Fabric thickness is one of the most important factors determining thermal comfort. It was found that fabric thickness had a direct effect on thermal transmittance, where the thicker material, the lower the thermal transmittance [10].

In this study, Different types weave structures (Plain and Twill) by using same fabric parameters have been constructed for this study purpose. Then physical behavior of plain and twill weave derivatives such as air permeability, tensile strength, drape-ability, fabric thickness had been evaluated using different techniques. After obtaining the result, it has been showed the comparison of the physical properties of different weave structures.

Materials and Methods

Materials

Fabric: For this experiment, six samples of woven fabrics (Matt, Diaper, Diamond, Brighton honeycomb, Twill, and Vertical Zig-Zag) were produced with different weave design by using respective pattern card in Rapier loom of Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST) weaving lab, Dhaka, Bangladesh. During the production same EPI (72), PPI (42) and width (63.5″) of the fabrics was maintained. In making the fabrics same count yarn (warp count-30Ne, weft count-22Ne) was used. After taking every sample out of the loom they were laid on a table in lay form for 48 hours to get relaxed (Dry Relaxation). Finally, the fabrics were ready for the test.

Machine

The following machinery have been used to develop and analysis the sample from the AUST Lab, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Rapier loom (Dobby, Capacity: 20 Heald frames-2 for Selvedge)

•Air permeability tester (Textest)

• Drape Tester (Cusick)

• Universal Strength Tester (Titan)

• Thickness Gauge (Dial Type)

• Electronic Balance

• Wet and Dry Bulb Hygrometer

• Counting Glass

• Scissor

• GSM Cutter

• Iron Machine

• Stationery items (Scale, Marker pen)

Methods

The sample was developed and tested in AUST lab, Dhaka, Bangladesh and analyzed the samples by the following testing standards:

• Tensile strength: Tensile strength is determined by ASTM D5035-11 (2015) (20s)

• Drape Co-efficient: Drape Co-efficient is determined by BS 5058

• Air permeability: Air permeability is determined by ASTM D737

• Fabric thickness: Fabric thickness is determined with the help of MITUTOYO thickness gauge

Results and Discussion

Determination of GSM value of different fabric design

From the above Figure 1, it is obvious that Brighton honeycomb design has the highest GSM value for having highest number of alternate floats in the fabric. Twill and Diaper design have almost the same GSM. Vertical Zigzag and Diamond have almost same GSM. In case of Matt design, GSM is lower because of higher number of floats in both warp and weft direction.

Saturated Fatty Acids Derivatives as Assistants Materials for Textile Processes

Image
  Abstract Many auxiliaries have been used in textile industries in dry or wet processes. One of the important based materials is fatty acids and its derivatives. The present work aims at preparing some textile auxiliaries based on saturated fatty acids. Six different materials were used to react with each fatty acid. Produced materials have been characterised using FT-IR, HLB and cloud point. Based on the HLB values, produced materials have been used as softeners or as O/W emulsifiers (printing paste). Treated fabrics with softeners show a very good physical and mechanical properties and printed fabrics with prepared pastes shows a good printing paste with good prints characteristics (colour strength and colour fastness).

Modern Fibers: A Human- Centered Technology

Image
Textile Science and Fashion Technology Clothing represents one of the most ancient forms of human expression and is a tool that an individual use to express his/her culture and social status in society. Since the dawn of civilization, humans have used fabrics to provide basic warmth and show aesthetics. People gradually added more patterns and styles, creating clothing out of different materials. Today, the U.S. fashion and apparel industry are a $12 billion business, with the average American family spending $1,700 on clothes annually (BLS Data 2018) [1]. The fiber sector of the clothing and textile industry has undergone substantial change in recent years, and the modern fibers have opened a whole new frontier for clothing products. Modern fibers, also known as smart fibers, are becoming a human-centered technology. The smart fabrics will have the capability to see, hear, and sense their surroundings and to respond to the external stimulus through an active control mechanis...

Opinion On the bottom floor of the Besse Library and across the Media Center is a room that either most people probably don’t pay attention to or always wonder what it contains. The room holds thousands of stories from all over the country, dating from over a century ago to the present day. These stories are not limited to paper and a bound cover but by thread and fabric. They all help create the Historic Costume Study Collection. Upon entering the cold room, you might feel overwhelmed. On the wall to the left are shelves that contain purses, hats, and muffs; on the right, there are shoes, gloves, and jewelry in cabinets and in repurposed library catalog card holders. Of course, you cannot overlook the mountain of garment boxes reaching up to the ceiling. The back wall has the fur and extensive wedding gown sections. Clothing racks are placed in messy rows that make maneuvering around difficult. The Historic Costume Study Collection has all you could ever need and want from fashion. Th...
