Factors Affecting the Properties of Rayon Fabrics

Abstract

The effects of warp tension, number of filaments, and luster of viscose warp yarns, and the effects of number of picks and denier of viscose filling yarns of 32 woven fabrics on the weight, construction, breaking strength, and elongation of yarns, and on the breaking strength (grab and strip), elongation (strip), tearing strength (tongue), crimp, seam slippage, crease recovery, resistance to abrasion, and air permeability of fabrics were evaluated. The relationship be- between strip strength, S, strip elongation, E, and grab strength, G, was found to be The relationship between resistance to abrasion, log R, picks per inch, P, and denier of filling, D, was found to be equally well expressed by the following equations: The relationship between the air permeability, A, picks per inch, P, and denier of filling, D, was found to be
