“…In the same context, many references stated that microfiber yarn cross-section shapes affect the surface and mechanical properties of fabrics [8,9]. Furthermore, references revealed that fibers movement within a cross-section of microfiber filaments Polyester microfiber yarns are one of the synthetic fibers that can be produced by many crosssections.…”

“…In 1960, the production of the non-circular cross-section yarns released named trilobal [12]. Trilobal polyester is a triple cross-section yarn featuring by luster, which can allow being an alternative to an expensive silk shiny yarn [8]. The fabrics performed from this type of yarn characterize by good porosity and higher thickness [13] to overcome hydrophobicity property of polyester [14].…”

Since the last few decades, a development of new types of fibers were appeared in order to improve the mechanical properties of fabrics besides its comfort properties, Cotton material was used as a blended material to enhance the properties of the manufactured products. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the influence of different polyester yarn cross-section and gauges on the mechanical properties of blended knitted samples. In this study two groups of knitted samples were manufactured, using gauge 24 and gauge 20, the samples were implemented with single jersey knitted structure by two different polyester microfiber cross-sections and blended cotton ratio. Some of mechanical properties were carried out for all samples such as air permeability, spray test, bursting strength and roughness. The result values recorded and tabulated, as well as statistically analysis using ANOVA Two-way Measurements were executed. The results illustrate that tests properties of blended knitted samples were significantly affected by variables except the spray test. In the same context the results clarify that trilobal cross-section improves UPF property for knitted samples. Finally, due to study the performance of each sample the radar chart was occurred, as the results revealed that Polyester Trilobal samples recorded the best sample radar area with different gauges.

Seat upholstery fabrics for vehicles are crucial products as technical textiles in motor vehicles make up approximately 15% of the total manufactured technical textiles worldwide and more than 50% of the production belongs to the woven fabrics because of their appropriate properties for this application. The current work presents the comfort-related properties of the woven fabrics designed to be used in automotive seat upholstery. For this aim, double-layered woven fabrics were produced with four different process variables such as bottom layer pattern, number of interlacing warps in a unit report, number of interlacing picks per top warp, and number of weft skips by using Taguchi experimental design. Besides handle related properties, such as circular bending rigidity, surface roughness properties, and thermo physiological comfort related properties that include air permeability, thermal resistance, and moisture management properties were measured and analyzed based on Taguchi experimental analysis.

“…Filament cross-section also has a significant effect on air permeability. 15 In addition, the fiber cross-section affects the thermal transfer of fabric. For example, fibers with a hollow core increase thermal resistance of fabric due to poor thermal conductivity of air.…”

Cool-touch polyester knitted fabrics with excellent thermal-wet and cooling comfort ability are desired for summer and sports clothing. Jade nanoparticle content and twist of filaments have significant effects on comfort-related properties. In this work, the effects of jade content and twist level of two types of cross-section polyester filament on fabric comfort-related properties were investigated in detail. Filaments were prepared and further knitted to fabric samples. The physical performance of polyester filaments, the thermal-wet transfer properties and dynamic cooling property of their fabrics were measured and analyzed. It was found that the jade nanoparticles mainly affected thermal transfer property of fabrics, and the best thermal transfer was exhibited by fabric with 7% cool-touch PET chip. With the increase of twist level, air permeability, water spreading and drying performance improved but thermal transfer ability decreased, and lower twist level of yarns was beneficial for achieving real moisture cooling properties. These results showed a major advance in developing thermal-wet comfort knitted fabrics using cool-touch filaments with appropriate twist level.
