Impact of weft yarn type and fabric weft density on burning behavior, tearing strength and air permeability for different types of antibacterial drapery fabrics

Using Polylactic acid (PLA) fibers in textiles may be accepted as a sustainable manner in terms of their being biodegradable under specific conditions, unlike traditional synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, which take a long time to break down and contribute to environmental pollution. Additionally, PLA fibers break down into simpler compounds, reducing environmental impact. This study investigates the effect of some weft yarn properties such as weft yarn types including PLA yarn, recycled PET-Trevira yarn, Polyester yarn, and the weft density factors on tear strength, air permeability, and some fastness properties of plain, twill, and satin fabrics. 9 different types of plain, twill, and satin fabric groups were produced by using 3 different weft yarn types (Polyester, recycled Polyester-Trevira, PLA) at the 3 different weft densities (24,26,28 threads/cm for plain, 32, 34,36 threads/ cm for twill, 36,38,40 threads/cm for satin groups) were produced where a total of 27 different drapery samples were obtained. SPSS Statistical analyses and bar graphs were used for the evaluation of the results. Randomized two-way ANOVA was used at the significance level of 0.05 among the plain, twill, and satin groups separately. Additionally, SNK tests were also performed to observe the means of each parameter. General evaluations of washing, dry cleaning, and rubbing fastness of dyed fabrics were also inserted.

“…One of the crucial mechanical factors that aff ects the usability of fabrics is tear strength, which can be defi ned as a mechanical characteristic. Numerous elements, including yarn, fabric structure, fabric treatment type, environmental circumstances, etc., may have an impact on this attribute [15] Tearing strength was measured according to the standard in this experiment. Figure 3, depicts the tearing strength of four diff erent samples in warp & weft directions.…”

In terms of sustainability & wearing comfort, denim manufacturers are entering a new era of product variety. Tencel's regenerative nature and unique mechanical qualities usher in a new era for the denim industry. In this work, denim fabrics were manufactured using Tencel Cotton blended yarn using very fi ne yarn (20 Tex or 30 Ne), and fabric performance was examined following factors like tensile strength and other relevant metrics. For better evaluation, All the structures were 2/1 RHT (right-hand twill) that contained 115 EPI & 70 PPI and also indigo blue dyed. According to the result of the investigation, 100% Tencel Fabric (both the warp and the weft yarn were 100% Tencel) demonstrated the highest quality of fabric performance in terms of tensile strength, tearing strength, stiff ness, air permeability, and water vapor permeability than any other cotton or cotton Tencel blended fabric. However, a downward trend of abrasion resistance was observed in Tencel or cotton Tencel blended fabric concerning the percentage change of Tencel. Additionally, the performance of the fabric was significantly improved by the percentage addition of Tencel fiber in the warp and weft directions. In addition, a denim fabric made entirely of cotton performed the least well when compared to fabrics made entirely of Tencel or a blend of Tencel and cotton.

“…The textile on which pathogenic microorganisms have already developed is a potential problem for viruses, bacteria, and infections with the possibility of their recurrence, which delays the time of treatment and also increases the cost of the period required for treatment [2,3]. Antimicrobially active textile materials have resistance to the action of pathogenic microorganisms, with the possibility of a simultaneous healing eff ect [4,5]. Nowadays, obtaining textiles with good resistance to microorganisms with ecological and economic justifi cation is of particular interest.…”

Chitosan-treated cotton yarns: Impact of application method on antimicrobial activity

Textiles with antimicrobial activity are necessary to prevent the action of pathogenic microorganisms on textiles, as well as their spread and transmission to protect the health of medical personnel and patients. There is a need for an application method that will provide textiles with the greatest resistance to the action of pathogenic microorganisms. This research presents data regarding the effect of chitosan application methods on bacteria reduction, which is useful for obtaining cotton yarns with antibacterial activity. Low molecular weight chitosan was used to pre-treated (alkaline scoured and bleached) cotton yarns in four application methods. Each application method changed the exhaustion, padding, drying, and rinsing phases to obtain antibacterial yarns against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Determining the applied chitosan amount and accessible amino groups was used to analyze their effect on antibacterial activity. Differences in surface morphology and chemistry between samples were analyzed by FTIR-ATR and SEM analysis. The result indicated that the methods in which the drying phase precedes the rinsing phase have a higher efficiency in reducing bacteria than the methods in which the rinsing phase precedes the drying phase. The method with the highest efficiency in reducing bacteria is the method in which the exhaustion phase is followed by a phases pad, dry, and rinse.
