  • Influence of compact yarn and biopolishing on cotton/viscose fabric hand [Elektronski vir]
    Rijavec, Tatjana, 1962- ; Jevšnik, Simona
    Compact cotton yarns have in comparison to conventional ring spun yarns higher breaking strength and higher breaking elongation. They are more elastic,resistant to abrasion and show less pilling. ... Their surface is smoother, with greater shine and softer touch. The influence of compact yarn on fabric hand was studied on fabrics made from cotton/viscose yarns. Comparison of properties at low stress on a Kawabata Evaluation System has showed that the fabrics produced with compact yarns are more elastic, have better shear properties (higher shear modulus), lower flexural rigidity, are more compressible, but have better relaxation of pressure load. They have significantly higher coefficient of friction but lower geometric roughness compared with the fabrics with conventional ring spun yarns. Bio-polishing of fabrics with enzyme Primafast 100 influenced on hand properties, especially on surface properties.
