Effect of Weaving Pattern and Yarn Density on the Surface Roughness of Woven Fabrics

Abstract

Surface roughness is an important characteristic of textile fabrics. It affects a variety of other properties such as the fabric hand, the surface friction properties and the efficiency of lamination and adhesion processes. Surface roughness in fabrics is typically measured using the KES-F system. This research paper proposes an innovative method for the measurement of fabric surface roughness based on image processing of photos of fabric cross-sections, obtained through the stereoscopic microscope.

Performance Investigation of Textile Triboelectric Generators

“…The Vpp was ranging from 100 to 108mV, with a mean Vpp value of 104mV. Traditionally, it has been known that a weaving pattern plays a major role in the regular textile properties like for example the surface roughness [22], the shear behaviour [20] etc. Hereby, it is also proved that as a weaving pattern primarily affects the surfaces of textile-based TEGs, it also secondarily affects its triboelectric outcomes.…”

Influence of microscopic features on the self-cleaning ability of textile fabrics

“…Huan et al. 95 studied the influence of woven fabric structural and material parameters on dielectric properties. The yarn counts, fabric weaves, and fiber contents were the critical factors for different dielectric properties.…”

“…Moreover, it was noticed that the highest roughness values were on the plain weave and the lowest ones were on the sateen weave samples. Huan et al 95 studied the influence of woven fabric structural and material parameters on dielectric properties. The yarn counts, fabric weaves, and fiber contents were the critical factors for different dielectric properties.…”
