- Abstract
Denim fabrics are used in different applications. In the early times denims were manufactured from 100% cotton yarn in which the warp yarn is dyed and floated in 3/1 twill, but now a day's different types of yarns are used as weft. In this study, four different denim fabric samples of 3/1 Z were formed from one warp of twill with warp (6.5 Ne cotton) and density of 60 yarns per inch and four weft yarns (12 Ne cotton, 14 Ne cotton/70 denier spandex, 400 denier polyester/50 denier spandex and 450 denier polyester) of density of 40 yarns per inch. The four denim fabrics were used for investigating the surface and low stress tensile, shear properties of denim fabrics. Kawabata evaluation system for fabrics (KES-FB) was used to measure surface and mechanical properties of fabrics. The result revealed that denims made from cotton has higher shear and surface properties than denims made from polyester yarn whereas denims made from cotton has lower strength properties than denim made from polyester. The two fabrics containing spandex in both fabrics (denims made from cotton and denims made from cotton and polyester) showed improved handling properties like smoothness and recoverability properties.
