The Influence of Annealing Process on Crystallinity and Structural Properties of Cotton/Spandex Fabric

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to elucidate the crystallinity, structural and mechanical properties of cotton/spandex knitted fabric after conducting heat setting i.e., annealing process with optimized condition for the first time. Experimental results disclosed that, crystallinity index (CI) (%) of heat-treated cotton/spandex were increased with increased temperature and also mechanical properties i.e., tensile strength was improved as the temperature rose from 120 to 140ºC and decreased with augmenting temperature ranges, which is in good agreement with the findings of CI % through X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The attendance of cellulose dehydration was further confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra in order to observe the structural integrity.

Toward improved performance of reactive dyeing on cotton fabric using process sensitivity analysis

“…, 2020; Pervez et al. , 2015, 2017c). Records of average annual cotton fiber consumption are continually being broken due to increasing use (Shi et al.…”

“…Despite the development of many synthetic fibers, cotton is still the most important natural textile fiber in the world because of its outstanding physical and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, moisture uptake, softness, air permeability, hand feel and water sorption Performance of reactive dyeing properties (Cai et al, 2020;Yılmaz and Bahtiyari, 2020;Mahmud et al, 2020;Pervez et al, 2015Pervez et al, , 2017c. Records of average annual cotton fiber consumption are continually being broken due to increasing use (Shi et al, 2020).…”

Detecting the spandex injuries and therapies of stretched garments

“…9 Researcher also experimented that elastic garments can be best suited for modern fashioning due to they can be fashioned as required shape of the body structure. 10 Researcher experimented that spandex is composed of long chain polymers. 11 These polymer ingredients can be compacted with proper heat setting temperature.…”
