Developing innovative pattern designs for jacquard woven athletic footwear fabrics

Abstract

to experiment with different weaving structures with the same fabric construction and innovative patterns needed to fulfill customer needs for this product. However, it could affect the fabric's physical and mechanical properties. Hence, this study represents (4) samples produced from (Polyester filament, chenille P.E. (micro flat), and polyester/lycra by using double weave wadding structure techniques. The statistical analysis results for correlation coefficients show a direct correlation between the properties and the textile compositions of different pattern designs. Also, the statistically significant differences between the results are weak, which in turn is reflected in allowing the freedom of design using these different patterns by athletic footwear fabric designers and thus meeting the desires of customers for different designs for this type of athletic footwear without affecting on the mechanical properties of the fabrics involved in their manufacture. pattern designs; woven jacquard fabrics; athletic footwear Paper
