Item Effects of yarn spinning systems and twist direction on some properties of viscose interlock fabrics(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2020-10-22) Duru, Sena CimilliIn this study, it was intended to investigate the effects of yarn spinning systems as well as yarn twist direction on some comfort and spirality performance properties of the fabrics. For this aim, interlock knitted fabrics made of 100% viscose yarns were produced with different spinning systems namely, ring, compact and siro at two twist directions; S and Z. The results indicate that the fabrics made of compact yarn possessed high water vapor and high air permeability values, but lesser vertical wicking values than ring yarn fabrics. However, both of the permeability values of the compact yarn fabrics markedly reduced when yarn twist direction was S. Generally, irrespective of yarn twist direction, the siro yarn fabrics exhibited better permeability but lesser wickability values as compared to ring yarn fabrics. Ring yarn fabrics displayed relatively highest wickability values and spirality percentages as compared to made from siro and compact yarns. In addition, samples produced from Z-twist yarn had higher air permeability values as well as water vapor permeability values but their vertical wicking values and spirality percentages were lesser than that of S-twisted ones. To sum up, it can be inferred that the spinning system has a profound influence on structural parameters of spun yarns.Item Evaluation of acoustic performance of hemp and cotton fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2022-12-21) Sezgin, Hande; Duru, Sena Cimilli; Candan, CevzaIn a developing and increasing world, the increment in the consumption of natural resources brings environmental problems together. The use of plant raw materials has great importance in the construction industry, which has a high consumption rate. Increasing demand to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly materials has increased the use of natural fibers in sustainable building materials (sound absorption, heat and sound insulation). The fact that hemp fiber does not have high water consumption in the production, can be grown without the need for fertilizers and pesticides, as well as leaving a rich soil structure for the next crop by destroying weeds ensures the protection of the soil and the environment. From this point of view, in this study sound insulation properties of hemp fiber reinforced composites were investigated. Polypropylene fiber was used as a matrix material. To compare the performance of hemp fiber, cotton fiber was also utilized and different constructions were produced from these materials. The composites were produced by the hot-press method. It was found that the composites made of hemp fiber showed significantly higher sound insulation than the cotton fiber reinforced composites and can be used as a sound isolation material at specific high frequencies.
