Investigating how poly-cotton blend and the GSM of woven fabric affect bursting strength.

Abstract

There are a number of methods that are employed in the manufacturing of fabric. Some of these methods include; knitting, non-woven, weaving, and with. these new technologies, more are yet to surface. Notably, the woven fabrics show the best levels of dimensional stability and good cover. One of the most important characteristics of woven fabric is strength. Strength is also measured in tensile, tearing or bursting Strength. But so many factors are related to the fabric strength like yarn count, twist, fiber fineness, GSM, stiffness, fiber density, blend ratio, fabric structure, cover, yarn density, no. of layer, tightness factor and so on. It is very complex to establish a mathematical relation to determine strength considering all these parameters. This paper will make clear understanding on the factors that directly or indirectly influence the woven fabric's bursting strength and thus, will be more helpful during further research in woven fabric strength prediction. The results indicate negative relationship between GMS of woven fabric and bursting strengths.
