Effect of using Trilobal^® polyester on the functional performance of fencing suit

Abstract

Purpose The paper aims to use the Trilobal® polyester (Y cross-section) for producing fabrics suitable for fencing suits and evaluating their various properties. Design/methodology/approach Double weave structure was chosen to produce the samples by using six different face structures and two back structures divided into two groups according to the back structures. They were evaluated by their physical and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, puncture resistance, air permeability and humidity properties in horizontal and vertical wicking, drying rate and water vapor transmission. Findings Fencing sport recently is one of the most growing sports in the world, which necessitates special requirements and properties of fencing suit, either mechanical properties, which allow the easily and freely movement for the athlete, or the comfort properties that save the player’s effort and energy for a long time to improve his performance. Originality/value ANOVA test analysis showed highly significant results in some properties comparing back and face structures of the double weave fabric high correlation coefficient were found between packing density factor of produced fabric and the weft material types. The final results showed the produced sample that weaved with plain 1/1 for back structure and warp rib 2/2 for face structure achieved the best results, followed by the produced sample weaved with plain 1/1 for back structure and weft rib 2/2 for face structure compared with the other produced samples.

“…Fig. 7B shows that the 13 AC/T 0.4 sample of group 2 C gave the highest value of bursting strength, followed by the 23AC/T0.4 sample of group 2 C , due to the properties of the viscose as a regenerated material with the crystalline region for the sample 13 and the ratio of polyester fibers in sample 23 that characterized by its high strength [44].…”

Characterization the Properties of Blended Single Jersey Fabrics using Different Microfiber Yarn Cross-sections and Gauges Machine

“…In the same context, many references stated that microfiber yarn cross-section shapes affect the surface and mechanical properties of fabrics [8,9]. Furthermore, references revealed that fibers movement within a cross-section of microfiber filaments Polyester microfiber yarns are one of the synthetic fibers that can be produced by many crosssections.…”
