Comfort parameters of clothing woven fabrics in twill weave before and after thermal fixation of interlining

Abstract

In this paper, comfort parameters of clothing woven fabrics, before and after thermal fixation of interlining, were investigated. Two woven fabrics obtained from cotton and polyester fiber blends made in twill 3/1S weave, as well as cotton fusible woven dot fuse coat interlining, were used as experimental material. Air permeability and dc volume electrical resistivity were investigated as comfort parameters. The obtained results showed that the air permeability is in a function of porosity of the tested samples, their thickness and thermal fixation of interlining, while the dc volume electrical resistivity is in a function of the structural characteristics of woven fabrics, thermal fixation of interlining as well as relative air humidity. It is observed that the thermal fixation of interlining leads to a reduction in air permeability and an increase in the value of dc volume electrical resistivity of the tested woven fabrics.
