Comfort-related Properties of Woven Fabrics Produced from Dri-release®Yarns

Abstract

Scopul acestui studiu a fost de a produce tesaturi pentru îmbracaminte sport cu un grad ridicat de confort, deci cu o valoare adaugata mare. În prima etapa a studiului a fost proiectata o tesatura noua cu structura bistrat pentru a fi utilizata pentru producerea îmbracamintei sport. Au fost create patru tesaturi diferite utilizând firele de bumbac, Tencel LF®, bambus şi Modal®, precum şi firele Dri-release®. Ulterior, au fost analizate, verificate statistic şi comparate proprie tatile de confort termic ale acestor tesaturi. La finalului studiului, au fost indicate tesaturile cu proprietati optime de utilizare.

The aim of this study was to manufacture active-wear fabrics that have a high clothing comfort, hence, a high added value. In the first stage of the study, a new double-layer woven fabric was designed to be used for active-wear and four different fabrics were manufactured by utilizing cotton, Tencel LF®, bamboo and Modal® yarns in addition to Dri-release® yarn. Then, thermal comfort properties of these fabrics were analyzed, statistically reviewed and compared to each other. At the end of the study, fabrics with optimum usage properties were suggested.
