“…Samples 5 and 6 were weaved in twill weave and had the same monofilament diameters as the samples 1-4; however, their declared density was higher (180 and 190 yarns/cm) ( Figure One-layered woven fabrics consist of two different parts in their structure, usually described by the open area and the cover factor [1][2][3]. The extended version of the cover factor theory also presents the area covered by one yarn and the area covered by two yarns in a fabric's structure ( Figure 1).…”

“…), is that textile products do not have to be applied directly into/on the skin, by which we avoid many allergic and other chemical skin reactions. The advantage of using textile products (i.e., clothes) is also that it is easy to separate the protected surface of the skin from the unprotected part when we use them [1][2][3].…”

Knowing the reflection, transmission, and absorption properties of the yarns from which the woven fabric is made, prediction of a fabric’s UV-protective properties is simple. Using the geometrical properties of monofilament yarns and fabrics, which were determined optically, and following the cover factor theory, we have determined the areas of fabrics covered with no yarns, only one yarn, and two yarns. From a special selected set of high-module polyethylene terephthalate (PET) monofilament materials (e.g., fabrics), we have elaborated a method for determining the reflection, transmission, and absorption of yarns. By first defining the differently covered areas of fabrics, we were able to use them in a mathematical model for calculating and predicting the UV-protective properties of the fabrics. The calculated and measured values of the UV-protective properties of the selected test fabrics were highly correlated, with a correlation coefficient >0.98.

“…У дослідженнях [11,12] наведені результати щодо впливу типу переплетення, щільності, коефіцієнта покриття, порової структури та кольору бавовняної тканини на фактор захисту текстильного матеріалу від ультрафіолету. Встановлено, що саме колір бавовняної тканини найбільше впливає на фактор ультрафіолетового захисту та наведені рекомендації з проектування тканих бавовняних текстильних матеріалів з достатнім показником захисту від ультрафіолету.…”

The goal of the work is to determine the dependence of lightfastness of colours obtained by reactive dyes on the interlacing of cotton knitted fabrics. The study was carried out using cotton knitted fabrics of various interlacing: plain, rib knitted fabric 1×1 and pique. Samples of knitted fabric were previously prepared by the combined method of washing and peroxide bleaching. Dyeing was carried out by reactive dyes brand Bezaktiv Cosmos periodically. The insolation of the dyed samples was carried out on a device with a mercury-tungsten lamp. The lightfastness of the samples was evaluated according to BS 1006 UK/TN standard by determining color differences at regular intervals using a colorimeter.

Apart from their soft feel and good water absorbency, cotton fabrics are also characterised by good heat conductivity, air permeability and breathing. By increasing the open surface of one-layer fabrics, their air and water vapour permeability, and heat conductivity should increase as well, whereas the protection against UV rays, on the other hand, which is especially important for summer clothes, decreases. The aim of the research was to establish the influence of multilayer cotton fabric constructions on the properties connected with porosity, i.e. thermal resistance, water vapour resistance, UV-light permeability and air permeability. One-layer, two-weft and double cotton fabric constructions were woven from white, blue and black yarn with fineness 8 × 2 tex, warp density 40 ends/cm and weft density 60 picks/cm, taking into consideration the colour distribution of yarns in the fabrics as well. The research results showed that the most optimal construction characterises multilayer two-weft and double fabrics. Among the studied fabrics, a positive correlation was established between the porosity of fabrics and their air permeability or ultraviolet protection factor (UPF), respectively, and a negative correlation between the porosity of fabrics and their heat or water vapour permeability, respectively. The correlation between the calculated number of pores of individual samples, as an important factor in porosity, and the studied permeability resistance properties (i.e. heat resistance, water vapour resistance, UV-light permeability and air permeability resistance) was higher than the correlation between the porosity of samples and the abovementioned permeability properties.
