“…The breaking force of MD is always higher than that of CD for all samples, and the difference between the values is statistically significant (p=0,000). It agrees with earlier work by other researchers [26][27][28]. This is because the fabrics are composed of staple fibers and the fibers are aligned in MD so because of less number of fibers in the cross direction region, the developed fabric exhibited lower tensile strength in CD [29].…”

This study investigates the effects of fabric properties and ultrasonic welding on the performance of surgical gowns. For this purpose, eight spunlace fabrics with different structural properties were provided. First, the fabrics’ thickness, tensile strength, elongation at break, air permeability, drape behavior, and surface friction properties were investigated. Then the fabrics were sewn with the ultrasonic sewing machine. Afterward, the sewn fabrics’ seam strength, air permeability and drape behavior were tested. The results were statistically evaluated. Based on the data obtained, a detailed comparison was made between the fabrics with respect to the expectations of the surgical gowns. The higher the polyester content in the fabric, the higher the fabric strength, seam strength and air permeability. However, viscose-rich fabrics have a softer hand and are easier to drape compared to polyester fabrics. Moreover, sewing process leads to a decrease in the drape and air permeability of the fabrics.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
