“…It is also observed from Figure 3 that seams need less force to bend in the course direction than in the wales direction. This is similar to the results given by Asfand and Daukantien_ e, 14 where the bending stiffness is lower in the course direction than in the wales direction. recovery average rigidity, which are given in Figures 4 and 5 respectively.…”

The impact of stitch density and seam type on tactile properties of seams has been investigated. Lapped seam 1 (LSa-1) using stitch class 605 and superimposed seam (SSa-2) using stitch class 514 (ASTM 6193) were constructed with four different stitch densities, namely, stitches per inch (SPI) 10, SPI 14, SPI 18 and SPI 22, and the tactile properties of seams examined by evaluating the characteristics of seams such as seam compression, seam thickness, seam bending behaviour and surface friction of seams. From the study, the optimized stitch density has been identified as SPI 10 for producing soft seam. Seam class and stitch density play a vital role in determining seam comfort properties.

“…For example, Choi and Ashdown and Ashdown 27 noted that by increasing the 1 × 1 rib cotton fabric weight and stitch density (from 590 to 660 g/m 2 and 23.35 to 35.32 cm 2 , respectively), fabric stiffness increased about two times. Asfand and Daukantienė 28 reported a linear relationship between 1 × 1 rib cotton/PET fabrics’ bending stiffness and two fabric structural parameters: weight and density.…”

This research studied the influence of common wet processes (i.e. bleaching, dyeing, or softening) on the quality of 1 × 1 rib cotton/elastane knitted fabrics. The changes in their structural (thickness, weight, and stitch density) parameters, mechanical (bursting elongation and stiffness), comfort (air permeability and moisture sorption), and esthetic (pilling propensity) properties are discussed as an influence of the used elastane type (multifilament or monofilament), and content (4% or 8%), and applied wet processes. The severity of the bleaching process (high pH value and boiling temperature) and the resulting fabrics’ less compact structure contributed to a 17.3% higher bursting elongation of bleached compared to the dyed fabrics. Fabrics having a higher content of less finner elastane (8%, 235 dtex) have 40% and up to 21% higher stiffness and bursting elongation than fabrics containing 4% elastane of 78 dtex. The aforementioned fabrics (having 4% elastane) are softer and more comfortable since they are characterized by up to 37.9% and 5.6% higher air permeability and moisture sorption than fabrics having 8% elastane. Dyed knitted fabrics provided a better intensity of warm/cool feeling than the bleached ones due to the better comfort properties. Up to 5000 pilling cycles, the fabrics’ pilling propensity increased with an increase in elastane fineness, while at the same number of pilling cycles, dyed fabrics have a lower pilling propensity than the bleached ones. The calculated complex criterion of fabrics’ quality revealed that pilling propensity and stiffness are the main contributors to their quality that ranged from excellent to satisfying. The “satisfying” fabric quality was improved to “good” by softening with silicone softener, whereby the high content of silicon (197.51 μg/g, assessed by ICP-OES) within the bleached fabric having 8% elastane contributed to lower piling propensity compared to the corresponding non-softened fabric.

“…In addition, it is known from practice that fashion designers make their decisions based on fabric aesthetics appearance, and only then analyze its performance. However, previous research revealed 36 that even knitted fabrics look very similar for 1×1 rib and half-Milano rib patterns for both technical sides, they demonstrate different bending behavior depending not only on the knit pattern, but also on their technical side. Therefore, the aim was to investigate the influence of the fabric knit pattern, technical side, percentage of fiber mixture, and treatment on the moisture management and air permeability properties of newly developed cotton/antistatic polyester knitted fabrics, suggesting the use of them for regular application in clothing manufacturing.…”

This research fills in the missing knowledge on the moisture management and air permeability of knitted fabrics developed using mixed cotton/antistatic polyester yarns with both antibacterial and antistatic behavior to enhance their functionality. The effect of the knit pattern, technical side, percentage of fiber mixture and treatment on water absorption capacity and time, relative water vapor permeability and resistance, and air permeability of developed fabrics was investigated. The 1x1 rib knit and half-Milano rib knit patterns were applied in each 4 percentages of cotton and antistatic polyester and 3 types of finishing to prepare 24 fabrics. The water absorption capacity for 1x1 rib knit fabrics was in the range of 182–231% and 162–237% for the half-Milano knitted fabric with the ∼20% increase when increasing the percentage of antistatic polyester or applying the treatment. The water absorption time depended on the pattern, the fabric treatment, and the percentage of the fiber mixture. The applied antibacterial treatment significantly prolonged the water absorption time of most of the dyed and softened samples. The 1x1 rib knitted fabrics showed significantly higher water vapor and air permeability than the half-Milano rib knitted fabrics. The relative water vapor and air permeability of the treated samples increased significantly with an increasing percentage of polyester. Research results are of great practical value when designing new textiles and simulating mathematically their comfort behavior when choosing them for a particular garment.
