Abstract

Denim fabrics woven with different raw materials (Tencel, Linen, Cotton/Hemp, Soybean, Modal/Cellulose Acetate), especially considering the use of sustainable materials were investigated. As well as the effects of 3/1 twill used in conventional denim, the effect of zigzag twill and Bedford cord weaves on various physical properties of fabrics were investigated. For this purpose, the surface (surface roughness and friction coefficients), handling (bending rigidity, drapeability and crease recovery angle) and permeability (air permeability, thermal resistance and moisture management performance) properties were examined. From the results, it was found that the weave structure was the most decisive structural parameter on all the physical properties of fabrics examined. The raw material properties have affected on different physical properties of fabrics in different manners. It was anticipated that the experimental results might contribute to the selection of structural parameters in denim fabric designs depending on usage areas and the season.
