- Abstract
This study aims to investigate the elastic knitted fabrics produced by using different elastane yarn counts and elastane rates in terms of physical, strength and thermal comfort characteristics. The physical test results indicated that the fabrics knitted with coarser elastane yarn or higher rate of elastane had higher weight, thickness, bursting strength and puncture resistance. The thermal comfort properties pointed out that the fabrics including coarser elastane yarn or full plating elastane had higher thermal conductivity and thermal absorptivity values, while lower air and relative water vapour permeability.
