Part II: Effect of Construction on Crease Recovery of Fortisan Fabrics

Abstract

An attempt has been made to establish some general relationships between crease recovery and variables of fabric construction by an investigation of 174 systematically varied Fortisan filament fabrics. Crease recovery is generally improved by open construction, i.e., for any one fabric weight, by employment of high yarn denier and wide yarn spacing, and of open weave, i.e., one with long floats. In the case of asymmetrical weaves (e.g., 2/1 or 5/1 twills) the crease recovery is higher when measured with the longer float outside the crease. In general, little effect on crease recovery was found if the yarn properties were varied only in the filling direction.

The Effect of Construction on Certain Stress-Strain Properties of Uncoated and Coated Fortisan Fabrics

“…The warp strength after coating and flexing exceeded that in the filling in the open fabrics : i.e., those with long float weaves and/or wide yarn spacing.. 6. The 2/2 twill generally rated higher than the 2 x 2 hasket weave, especially in the closely spaced Series 1,2,3,and 4. 7. The last two columns of Table IV show that, percentagewise, the highest strength retention found was in Series 1 and 2, woven f rom the lowest denier yarns.…”

“…fabrics lead in structural tenacity after flexing, especially in the filling. 3. The structural tenacities of the flexed coated fabrics were reduced by increasing yarn denier : the two 30 2 series and h0/2 generally were considerablv better than those with heavier denier.…”

“…This effect was more apparent in the warp than in the filling, in the short float than the open weaves, and in the ply-yarn series than in the series woven with 90/1 yarns ( Series 3 and 4). 3. In fabrics comparable in weight and weave, the tenacity increased with increasing total yarn denier and correspondingly wider sl>acing.…”

The mechanism of wrinkling of cotton fabric in a front-loading washer: The effect of mechanical action

“…Extensive research has been reported on the factors influencing wrinkle recovery of fabrics, for instance, Richard Steele 8 , Aliakbar Merati 9 , Chapman 10 and Krasny 11 . The properties of fabric are determined to a large extent by its internal structures.…”
