Publication: Investigation of mechanical properties of fabrics woven with lyocell/cotton blend yarns
Abstract
This study aims to investigate mechanical properties of woven fabrics made from 100 % lyocell, combed cotton and lyocell-cotton blended yarns with different blend ratios. For this purpose, the tensile properties, tearing force, abrasion resistance, bending rigidity, drapability and wrinkle resistant properties of woven fabrics made from different ratios of lyocell and cotton yarns were tested. All the tests were carried out according to the standards, and the results obtained were assessed statistically. The analyses of variance were carried out at 5% (0.05) level of significance. The results of the study show that the effects of the proportion of the lyocell fibres in the lyocell/cotton blended yarns on the tensile properties, tearing force, abrasion resistance, bending rigidity and drape coefficient of woven fabrics are of statistical significance, and it was found that the tensile properties, tearing force and drapability properties were observed to be improve with the increase of lyocell fibre proportion in the blend.
