    Investigation of the comfort properties of traditional woven fabrics with different structural parameters
    (Inst Natl Cercetare-dezvoltare Textile Pielarie-bucuresti, 2020-01-01) Günaydin, Gizem Karakan; Akgün, Mine; AKGÜN, MİNE; Gürarda, Ayca; GÜRARDA, AYÇA; Çeven, Erhan Kenan; ÇEVEN, ERHAN KENAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Tekstil Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-3283-4117; AAG-4653-2019; AAG-9756-2021
    Turkish traditional Buldan weavings are known as special fabrics in terms of providing comfortable clothes which are known to be natural and healthy in Denizli. Turkey. The research presented in this paper assesses the effects of different fabric structural parameters of Buldan fabrics on comfort properties such as thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity. water vapour permeability and air permeability. Five different Buldan fabrics woven with different fabric structural parameters were produced. According to test results, cotton/Tencel Buldan fabrics indicated similar comfort properties with the 100% cotton Buldan fabric properties. Additionally the lowest thermal absorptivity was observed from 100% cotton Buldan fabrics which give the warmth feeling among the evaluated samples.

    Sewing needle penetration forces and elastane fiber damage during the sewing of cotton/elastane woven fabrics
    (Sage Publications, 2005-08) Gürarda, Ayca; Meriç, Binnaz; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Tekstil Mühendisliği Bölümü.; AAD-9210-2019; 35609709500; 14919630800
    This paper presents an experimental study of the effects of elastane draw ratio, pre-setting temperature and finishing process on the penetration forces of a sewing needle and damage to the elastane fibre during the sewing of cotton/elastane woven fabrics. Seam strength and seam opening strength of the fabrics were also determined for assessment of seam performance. In this study three fabric types with three different elastane weft yam draw ratios were taken as samples for the experiments. As the first step a pre-setting process was applied to all three types of fabric at two different temperatures and at the finishing process half of the samples were treated with silicone and the other half were washed only. In total, 12 samples having different specifications were obtained. For these fabrics, nylon/elastane air-covered yarn was used as the weft yarn and cotton yarn as the warp yarn. Seam strength, seam opening strength, needle penetration forces and "needle damage index" were determined for these fabric samples. The needle penetration forces were between 100 and 140 cN and the "needle damage index" values were between 20 and 42%. Photographs were taken with an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope to show the elastane fiber damage during the sewing.
