Double-layer Fabrics with Folk Motives. Experimental and Theoretical Study of their Characteristics

Abstract

Nowadays authentic textile motifs are becoming very popular. The latest fashion trends show that the expressed relief and texture of fabrics are common. Combining these two tendencies, 8 fabrics of two-layer spatial structure were woven. It was established that the area density increases after finishing, the breaking force decreases, and the elongation at break increases. The abrasion resistance depends on the fabric structure. If fabric is woven with part A, the abrasion resistance increases after finishing, and if it is woven without part A, the abrasion resistance decreases. Theoretical calculation of area density of two-layer fabrics is presented. The formula suggested is accurate because the error is low.

Improved abrasion resistance of textile fabrics due to polymer coatings

“…Several approaches are described in the literature to reach this goal, amongst which only few ideas deal with the yarn or fabric construction. The weave of different two-layer woven fabrics could be shown to modify the abrasion resistance as well as the finishing process of the cotton/linen fabrics [1]. Slub yarns for upholstery fabrics were modified with respect to slub length, distance and thickness as well as yarn linear density to improve the abrasion resistance of the resulting woven fabric [2].…”
