INVERSTIGATION OF THE ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF DENIM KNITTED FABRIC

Abstract

Conventional denim fabric are always the 3/1 woven fabrics, using for their
special garment categories. Recently, denim knitted fabric have been developed
rapidly. Their appearance is closed to the woven denim fabric but their
production is simpler. The studies on the physico-mechanical of denim knitted
fabric were reported in some papers. Current research focused in the denim
fabric extension by the small forces such as 0.5N, 1N, 2N, 5N and the dimension
recovery of two kinds of fabrics: denim knitted fabric and the denim woven fabric
which were prepared similarly on masse and materials. The results showed that
the extension of denim knitted fabric is more important at all of applied force
while the dimension recovery of two kinds of fabric was similar. At 240 minutes
of liberation of applied force, denim knitted and woven knitted recovered 94 -
95% their deformation.
