Abstract:

In order to improve smoothness of plain knitted fabric, coating process was usually selected to use, but wearability of fabric would be affected such as permeability. Based on the characteristic of melting and bonding of low melting point fiber, in this work low melting point polyester bi-component composite filament was used to interweave with main raw materials and thus improve the smoothness of fabric. Influence of different processing technology on raveling property, wrinkle recovery ability, bending stiffness and permeability of fabric was evaluated. Influence of different processing technology on knitted fabric property was evaluated overall and processing technology on improving fabric property was discussed. The result showed that compared with coating shaping process, hot molten shaping process can not only improve the smoothness of knitted fabrics, but also keep its permeability.
