Development and Investigation of Hybrid Knitted Structures for Sensorial Comfort Properties. Part I - Tuck Stitches

ABSTRACT

Sensorial evaluation plays an important role in the identification of materials in addition to technical specifications for the wearer. The current study focuses on the development of different hybrid knitted structures with different percentages of knit stitches and tuck. Hundred percent cotton was used to develop unique structures on the 4-cam track single jersey knitting machine. A total of 15 hybrid weft knitted structures are developed with different combinations of knit and tuck stitch percentages. The effects of different amount of knit and tuck stitches on physical parameters, e.g. area density, stitch density, and thickness, were characterized. Sensorial comfort, e.g. resilience, softness, smoothness, drape, and wrinkle recovery rate, were evaluated with the standard test method. After testing and data analysis, it was concluded that percentages of stitch types have a significant effect on the physical parameters and sensorial comfort properties of the fabrics.

摘要

除了佩戴者的技术规范外，感官评估在材料识别方面也发挥着重要作用. 目前的研究重点是开发具有不同针织针脚和褶裥百分比的不同混合针织结构. 100% 纯棉被用于在 4 针道单面针织机上开发独特的结构. 共开发了15 种混合纬编结构，具有不同的编织和褶裥百分比组合. 表征了不同编织量和收褶量对物理参数（如面积密度、针脚密度和厚度）的影响. 使用标准测试方法评估感官舒适度，如弹性、柔软度、光滑度、悬垂性和皱纹恢复率. 经过测试和数据分析，得出的结论是，针脚类型的百分比对织物的物理参数和感官舒适性能有显著影响.
