  Abstract

Different researches have been carried out on honeycomb weaves while focusing on shrinkage, sound absorption, and thermal protection via variation in cell size. However, limited research found about the examination of stretchable honeycomb woven fabrics’ mechanical properties by usage of elastomeric weft yarn. To address this research gap and expand the applications of honeycomb fabrics to apparels and technical textiles, the respective study analyzed the mechanical properties including tensile and tear strength, needle penetration resistance, and stretch and recovery of twelve woven honeycomb samples with three different structures, i.e., single ridge, double ridge, and Brighton weaves accompanying different weft sequences of cotton and T-400 stretch yarns. Characterization data highlighted that single ridge honeycomb weave structure exhibited the highest tensile strength and tear resistance owing to its highest average weave factor of 3.25, followed by Brighton honeycomb tensile and tear strength with 9% and 6% difference, respectively. While double ridge interlacement pattern exhibited the least and comparable tensile strength and needle puncture resistance to Brighton honeycomb structure. However, stretch and recovery test revealed that cotton-based single ridge structure showed the least stretch up to 1.3%, while Brighton structure with elastomeric weft yarn found better with up to 55% recovery.
