The Influence of Stabilisation on the Structure of Knits and Tensile Properties of Their Yarns

Plated jersey knits of different composition were knitted and stabilised under hydrothermal conditions of 85<sub> </sub>°C for 10, 20 or 30 min in steam ambience. The influence of stabilisation duration on knit structure was estimated as well as change of mechanical properties of the yar...

Description
Summary:Plated jersey knits of different composition were knitted and stabilised under hydrothermal conditions of 85<sub> </sub>°C for 10, 20 or 30 min in steam ambience. The influence of stabilisation duration on knit structure was estimated as well as change of mechanical properties of the yarns. The obtained data show that 10 min of stabilisation influenced markedly the structure of plated jersey knits comparing with the same effect of 20 min and 30 min. The results of specific breaking force of polyester, cotton and wool yarns show decrease in their strength due to knitting and hydrothermal stabilisation processes.<p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.18.4.3096">http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.18.4.3096</a></p>
