Abstract |
|
Denim is the most widely preferred fabric mainly for younger generation throughout the globe. So, studies of denim comfort related properties are necessary.A few studies carried out so far relate mainly to controlled trials done by changing weft material, its count and picks per inch. In the current study an attempt has been made to investigate some of the comfort related properties of denim fabric used commercially. Care is taken to keep GSM and weave of all the fabric samples same. The comfort parameters of denim such as air permeability, moisture management properties and the thermal properties were measured and evaluated. Also effect of few commercial finishing treatments was analyzed. Studies reveal that fiber type, yarn structure, fabric thickness etc play important role in deciding one or the other property. |
