“…This was observed in all the blends of fire-resistant fibers. Such observations are supported by the previous literature where cross-relief geometry resulted in a higher tensile strength and modulus [37][38][39]. The compact and robust nature of the cross-relief geometry is responsible for its superior mechanical performance.…”

This paper investigates the development of fabric materials using several blends of inherently fire-resistant (FR) fibers and various knitted structures. The samples are evaluated with respect to their performance and comfort-related properties. Inherently fire-resistant fibers, e.g., Nomex, Protex, carbon and FR viscose, were used to develop different structures of knitted fabrics. Cross-miss, cross-relief, and vertical tubular structures were knitted by using optimum fiber blend proportions and combinations of stitches. Several important aspects of the fabric samples were investigated, e.g., their physical, mechanical and serviceability performance. Thermo-physiological and tactile/touch-related comfort properties were evaluated in addition to flame resistance performance. An analysis of mechanical performance indicated that the knitted structure has a significant influence on the tensile strength, bursting strength and pilling resistance. The cross-relief structure proved to be the strongest followed by the cross-miss and vertical tubular structures. The FR station suits made from 70:30 Protex/Nomex exhibited the best combination of tensile and bursting strength; therefore, this material is recommended for making a stable and durable station suit. Interestingly, it was also concluded from the experimental study that knitted samples with a cross-relief structure exhibit the best fire-resistance performance. Fiber blends of 70:30 Protex/Nomex and 70:30 Nomex/carbon were found to be optimum in terms of overall performance. The best flame resistance was achieved with Nomex:carbon fiber blends. These results were confirmed with vertical flammability tests, TGA, DTGA and cone calorimetry analysis. The optimization of blend composition as well as knitting structure/architecture is a crucial finding toward designing the best FR station suit in terms of mechanical, dimensional, thermal, thermo-physiological and flame resistance performance.

“…The converse was true for the wool fibers used in the blend [8,9]. Fabrics comprising 100% cotton had better pilling performance than blended cotton/PES fabrics but their abrasion resistance was the lowest [10]. In summary, it can be stated that the content of synthetic fibers has a significant influence on the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of fabrics.…”

The Influence of Finishing on the Pilling Resistance of Linen/Silk Woven Fabrics

The pilling resistance of fashion fabrics is a fundamentally important and frequently occurring problem during cloth wearing. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the pilling performance of linen/silk woven fabrics with different mechanical and chemical finishing, establishing the influence of the raw material and the peculiarities of dyeing and digital printing with different dyestuff. The pilling results of the dyed fabrics were better than those of the grey fabrics and even a small amount of synthetic fiber worsened the pilling performance of the fabric. Singeing influenced the change in the pilling resistance of the linen/silk fabrics without changing the final pilling resistance result. Singeing had a stronger influence on the fabrics with a small amount of synthetic fibers. The pilling resistance of printed fabrics was better than that of grey and dyed fabrics without and with singeing. The pilling resistance of pigment-printed fabrics was better than that of the reactive-printed fabrics.

Moisture management is one of the essential properties required for knitted fabrics. Generally, the moisture management fabrics regulate the heat and moisture by maintaining the body temperature and keep the wearer cool and comfortable. Cotton fibres are known for their excellent properties in clothing to be worn in a normal situation by managing a limited quantity of sweat. During any sports activity, the human body dissipates a greater amount of sweat for an extended period of time and cotton fibre blended with polyester is generally recommended for its low moisture absorption and durability. In recent years, polyester fibres are most widely used for sportswear applications due to their better moisture transmission properties. This study mainly focuses on the influence of coresheath ratio, twist and loop length on the moisture management properties of the knitted fabrics made from cotton/polyester core-spun yarns.
