Description 463-470
Modified cellulose (tencel, modal and bamboo) lycra plated
single jersey knitted fabrics have been developed with two different
loop lengths (2.7mm and 3.4mm) and with different lycra plating
(without, half and full plating) along with the cotton fabrics of same
variables. The developed fabrics are tested for their tactile comfort
properties. The tactile comfort properties of the fabrics depend on
the areal density. The results show that the fabrics without lycra and
with higher loop length show good grades for smoothness and
softness values. The fabrics with higher elastane content exhibit the
lowest grade for warmthness. The indices bending average rigidity
and bending work of the bending module are low for the tencel
single jersey fabrics without lycra and 3.4mm loop length.
Compression indices are also low for the fabric which computes a
higher grade of softness for the above fabric, which is attributed to
the lower areal density of the fabric. It is observed that the indices
of surface friction and roughness are also low for the tencel fabric
having 3.4mm loop length and without lycra, thus giving the fabric
a higher grade of smoothness. The 2.7mm loop length full plated
bamboo fabric exhibits the highest Qmax value, indicating the
cooler feeling. The value of Qmax descends towards the tencel
fabrics. It is recommended from the warmness grades that the
insertion of lycra plating in the fabric reduces the warmness by
increasing the contact area. Fabric hand values computed from the
above grades indicate that all the developed fabrics fall under the
category of low to high grades, depending on the loop length and
lycra insertion.
