Abstract

In this paper an attempt has been made to relate some mechanical properties of medium weight twill cotton fabric, specifically, extensibility, specific work of rupture, bending modulus (stiffness) and crease recovery, to some fabric constructional factors which are fabric weight, average warp and wert floats (number of threads), thickness and density of threads. It is found that average float length as an aspect of weave is the most important factor contributing to the investigated properties and that 2/2 ordinary twill-weave fabric has the superior serviceability compared with the other structures. By using the polygon area method, it is possible to assess the end use performance of outerwear twill cotton fabric from a knowledge of its initial specific work of rupture, extensibility, bending modulus and crease recovery.
