  Abstract

In this investigation bending, shear and fabric hand behaviors of fabrics produced from Trevira CS and its blends were studied. On a ring spinning machine, 100% Trevira CS, Trevira/Cotton (80/20), Trevira/Acrylic (80/20), and Trevira/Modal (80/20) yarns were spun. Using a single jersey weft knitting machine, these four different types of yarns were made into fabrics. The hand values were computed after the textiles were examined for low-stress bending and shear qualities using the Kawabata evaluation system for fabrics (KES-F). It was observed from this finding that Trevira CS/Modal and Trevira CS/Acrylic blended fabrics have the highest bending rigidity and hysteresis properties. Trevira CS/Acrylic and Trevira CS/Modal blended fabrics outperform followed by pure Trevira CS fabric in terms of Koshi (primary hand) value. Trevira CS/Acrylic blended fabrics give the highest shear rigidity and Trevira CS/Modal blended fabrics exhibits the highest shear hysteresis properties. Shear rigidity and shear hysteresis increase when modal and acrylic Fibres are added to Trevira CS-blended fabrics. Because acrylic blended fabric is coarser and tougher than pure Trevira CS, Cotton, and Modal fabrics, Trevira CS/Acrylic blended fabric has a higher hand value than pure Trevira CS, Cotton, and Modal fabrics. Trevira CS/Cotton blended fabric has a higher Numeri value than all other fabrics, owing to Trevira CS’s decreased stiffness when compared to all other fabrics. The hand value is directly proportional to the fabric weight. Given that the textiles are to be used for summer apparel, Trevira CS/Modal fabric has a higher total hand value (THV) than any other fabrics of similar construction and areal density. This finding strongly implies that blending cotton, modal, and acrylic in Trevira CS fabric improves its hand value.
