| Abstract: | The effects of spinning conditions on the
comfort characteristics of woven cotton fabrics have been investigated. It is
observed that the comfort characteristics of cotton fabrics are greatly influenced
by the yarn structural variants. The yarn structure has a large effect on the
fabric comfort. Twist factor and spindle speed influence the fabric comfort by
modifying the yarn hairiness, packing coefficient and diameter. In woven
fabrics, a systematic increase in spinning draft substantially alters the air
and water vapour permeabilities and hence, the comfort level. For all
experimental combinations, the
compact-spun yarn fabrics possess poor thermal resistance, better air &
water vapour permeabilities, and lower wickability & absorbency than the
ring-spun yarn fabrics. |
