Impact of Fabric Construction on Adsorption and Spreading of Liquid Contaminations

Abstract

A contamination on a textile material is defined as an undesirable, local formation that deviates in appearance from the rest of the material. In this paper the relationship between the shape and surface of liquid contaminations and the firmness factor of woven fabric is investigated. The interdependence of constructional and structural parameters of raw and bleached cotton fabrics were analysed. The results show that selected contaminations are distributed differently, primarily depending on the construction characteristics of the fabric, type of contamination and hydrophilicity of cotton fabric.

The Potential of Double-Faced Polyester-Viscose Woven Fabric as a Porous Substrate for Direct-Coating and Multilayer Concept

“…Double-faced fabric with a weft density of 70 strands per inch exhibits a faster wetting time compared to double-faced fabric with weft densities of 80 strands per inch and 90 strands per inch. This phenomenon can be attributed to the fact that the fluid flow on the fabric's surface is directly influenced by the effectiveness of capillary pore distribution within the fabric [19,20]. Double-faced fabric with a weft density of 70 strands per inch has a lot of vacant area (porosity) when compared to other fabric structure designs, as can be seen in the schematic 3D structural design of the double-faced woven substrate in Figure 3c.…”

“…This is because the fabric is placed horizontally during the measurement and gravity assists in increasing absorption on the lower surface of the fabric [4]. by the effectiveness of capillary pore distribution within the fabric [19,20]. Double-faced fabric with a weft density of 70 strands per inch has a lot of vacant area (porosity) when compared to other fabric structure designs, as can be seen in the schematic 3D structural design of the double-faced woven substrate in Figure 3c.…”
