Woven fabric's breathability is one of the most important characteristics concerning fabrics used as tents, raincoats and uniform shirtings. It is mainly evaluated and compared significantly via fabric air permeability. This study aimed to optimization of the fabric parameters influencing the woven cotton fabrics' air permeability. Twenty seven different fabric combinations using a 33 full factorial design were diminished to only nine fabric samples according to L9 Taguchi's orthogonal design. These fabric samples were produced, tested and evaluated. Using S/N ratios, the best combinations of factor levels which yield the highest value of fabric air permeability were detected efficiently.
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.
