KURU RELAKSASYON İŞLEMİNİN, ÖRME KUMAŞ YAPISAL ÖZELLİKLERİNE ETKİSİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI

In the present study, effect of the dry relaxation operation applied on single jersey, single jersey/lycra (95/5), interlock and interlock/lycra (95/5) fabrics manufactured with various types of yarns in terms of structural characteristics of knitted fabric. Structural characteristics of manufactured fabrics (course and wale density, stitch length and fabric unit weight) were measured for two distinct situations (at the moment the fabric manufactured by the knitting machine and after the dry relaxation process) and results were evaluated. Values obtained measurement process and dimensional parameters were estimated; and these findings were analyzed through one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) in the SPSS statistical software. In conclusion, significant differences were determined with “kc” and “kw” parameters of all fabric types at the times of exiting from the machine and of dry relaxation process. “kc” and “kw” parameters of non-Lycra fabrics were determined significantly lower than the fabrics with lycra.
