Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study of the sewability properties of %100 cotton fabrics. In this study, denim fabrics woven with three different weft densities and three different weft count. Two different finishing processes were applied to all fabric samples. Therefore 18 samples having different specifications were obtained. Sewing needle penetration forces were determined for these fabrics for sewability properties. Also bending rigidity and air permeability tests were determined for these fabrics for investigated the relationship between sewability properties. This study investigated the effects of weft density, weft count, finishing process, bending rigidity and air permeability on the sewability properties of denim fabrics.

%100 PAMUKLU DENİM KUMAŞLARIN DİKİLEBİLİRLİK ÖZELLİKLERİ ÜZERİNE DENEYSEL BİR ÇALIŞMA

Abstract

Bu makalede % 100 pamuklu kumaşların dikilebilirlik özelliklerine ait deneysel bir çalışma sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada denim kumaşlar üç farklı atkı sıklığı ve üç farklı atkı iplik numarası ile dokunmuştur. Tüm kumaş numunelerine iki farklı bitim işlemi uygulanmıştır. Bu nedenle farklı özelliklere sahip 18 numune elde edilmiştir. Bu kumaşların dikilebilirlik özellikleri için dikiş iğnesi penetrasyon kuvvetleri belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, bu kumaşlarda dikilebilirlik özelliği ile arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla eğilme rijitliği ve hava geçirgenliği testleri yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, atkı sıklığı, atkı iplik numarası, bitim işlemi, eğilme rijitliği ve hava geçirgenliğinin denim kumaşların dikilebilirlik özelliklerine etkileri araştırılmıştır.
