- Abstract
In this study, dimensional properties of viscose, modal and lyocell single jersey knitted fabrics with three level of loop lengths were studied under dry, wet and fully relaxation conditions. An attempt has been made to investigate the influence of different fiber types such as viscose, modal and lyocell fibers on the dimensional properties of single jersey knitted fabric. The three fibers were selected with similar fineness and fiber length as 1.5 d X 38 mm. The 14.8 tex staple spun yarn made with viscose, modal and lyocell fibers has been knitted with three level of loop lengths and the knitted fabrics is subjected to dry, wet and fully relaxed states. The effect of fiber type, loop length and relaxation treatments on the dimensional properties of single jersey knitted fabrics were statistically analyzed using an analysis of variance. The course and wale spacing values of lyocell fabrics found lower than that of viscose and modal knitted fabrics. Lyocell fabrics shows, higher areal density with decreasing loop length. It is also found that, ks value of the lyocell fabrics is increases proportionally with increase in the value of tightness factor, compare than viscose and modal fabrics. The fabrics made from lyocell shows maximum bursting strength and lower spirality as compared with viscose and modal fabrics, due to the structural characteristics of lyocell fibers. Single jersey knitted fabrics made with lyocell fibers shows better dimension properties compare than viscose and modal fabrics.
