Characterization and Recovery Evaluation of Elastic Knitted Fabric

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study aims to investigate the effects of the ratio of different rubber threads on the elastic, tensile, air permeability, andfar-infrared emissivity properties ofelastic warp-knitted fabric. Polyester filaments and rubber threads were applied as warp yarns while bamboo charcoal (BC)/Nylon (NY) filament was used as weft yarn to fabricate elastic knitted fabric (EKF) by using Velcro Crochet Machine. The four different ratios of rubber threads in warp direction were 0 %, 25 %, 50 % and 100 %. The result revealed that with the increase in weight ratio of the rubber thread, the air permeability decreased while the tensile elongation tended to increase in both warp and weft directions.
