The investigation objective was to reduce the area density of a cotton/Lycra plain knitted fabric according to the product specification. The knitting and after-treatment process parameters were optimized. Simultaneously, knitted fabric parameters were monitored and knitted fabric performance properties like shrinking and laundering and elastic properties: breaking extension, maximum extension at cyclic loading upto defined load/ extension and residual extension were assessed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
