Performance of woven fabrics for absorbent applications
Wael A. Hashima, Manar Y. Abd El-Aziz, Mohamed Hakam, Eman Mustafa
TL;DR
This study examines woven cotton fabrics with different structures and densities to improve absorbency and moisture transport for functional textile applications.
Contribution
A novel woven fabric structure using roving weft yarns is proposed to enhance absorbency while evaluating trade-offs with mechanical properties.
Findings
T9 (Twill – 9 picks/cm) performed best overall in physical and mechanical properties.
T5 (Twill – 5 picks/cm) showed highest moisture absorption efficiency with a One-Way Transport Index of 905.2%.
A trade-off exists between moisture management and mechanical/tactile performance in these fabrics.
Abstract
This study investigates the performance of woven fabrics developed using modified cotton fabric, where the weft yarns consist of roving and the warp yarns are conventional spun yarns, aiming to enhance absorbency and moisture transport properties in functional absorbent textile products. Two weave structures - plain and twill - were produced with varying weft densities of 5, 7, and 9 picks/cm, using roving yarns with a yarn count of Ne 1.1 in the weft direction. A comprehensive set of standard tests was conducted, including air permeability, thermal conductivity, abrasion resistance, pilling grades, tensile strength, dimensional stability, fabric friction, fabric roughness, and moisture management performance. Two-way ANOVA was used to examine the relationships between fabric structure, pick density, and the measured performance properties, while a radar chart was employed to evaluate…
