| Abstract [eng] |
Mechanical properties of knitted fabrics are very important when using them for different applications, such as clothing, technical textiles, composites, and e-textiles, etc. In this research, the bending behavior of 1x1 rib fabric and half-Milano knitted fabric developed using the eight cotton / antistatic polyester blend ratios such as 90 % cotton / 10 % antistatic polyester, 80 % cotton / 20 % antistatic polyester, 70 % cotton / 30 % antistatic polyester, and 65 % cotton / 35 % antistatic polyester was investigated. An M-100 (MATSUYA, Japan, 2016) 14E gauge automatic flat knitting machine was utilized with fixed machine settings for the development of investigated fabric samples. The effect of fabric dying, softening with AQUASOFT®SI hydrophilic softener, and Polygiene VO-600 antibacterial finish on the bending stiffness of the investigated knitted fabrics was evaluated along both courses and wales directions for both sides of the fabric ( technical face side & technical back side). The method of free fold loop suggested by Raymond H Plaut was applied to test the bending stiffness of the developed antistatic knitted textile fabrics. The test results of the bending stiffness testing revealed that the bending stiffness increased after the dying, softening, and treatment with antibacterial finish compared to the untreated (raw) fabrics samples. The samples cut in the wale direction of the fabric were stiffer than the course direction samples. Stiffness for the fabric technical face side of the fabric & technical back side was found similar in the case of 1x1 rib knitted fabrics due to their well-balanced structure for both technical sides. However, small differences in terms of technical sides were determined for the investigated half-Milano rib fabrics. |
