Fabric Science Presentation: BY Harshit Kumar (9) FP Batch-7

The document discusses the effect of resin finish on the dimensional stability of cotton knitted fabric. It finds that resin treatment increases the degree of set of yarns in the fabric. A higher degree of set means less deformation of the yarn shape from its original loop structure. This directly correlates to less shrinkage and higher dimensional stability of the treated fabric. The concentration of resin applied is proportional to the degree of set and dimensional stability achieved - more resin yields greater shape retention and stability. In conclusion, resin finishing improves the dimensional properties of knitted cotton fabric by increasing the yarn's resistance to deformation.

THE EFFECT OF RESIN FINISH ON THE
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY OF COTTON
KNITTED FABRIC
INTRODUCTION
• Knitted fabric is characterized by its elastic
properties
• Deformation in shape of fabric occurs due
to external applied force
• In theory fabric would retain its original
shape and dimensions but practically its
not possible
Need for the test
• Residual shrinkage in fabric is closely related to
the deformation of the yarn making the fabric
• If natural shape of the yarn in the fabric is the
same as the shape of the loop in the fabric, no
dimensional change would occur
• Greater difference between the two – greater
change in dimension
• To reduce this change , if not completely
removing it, fabric must be relaxed completely
• Resin finish is used to relax the non
thermoplastic fibers
• This helps in reducing the amount of
shrinkage to a great extent
EXPERIMENT
• Commercially produced plain knitted fabric
from combed cotton with four different
yarn’s densities are taken
• Before application of resin, each sample is
cleaned and peroxide bleached
• Samples are dried in an oven at 70 degree
celcius for 5mins after the application of
resin
SAMPLING AND MEASUREMENT
• Set of six samples are prepared for all the
four different fabrics
• Each set has a grey sample, cleaned and
bleached sample and four different
samples with different levels of
concentration of resin used in treatment
• All measurements carried out after
conditioning under atmospheric conditions
for 48 hours
DEGREE OF SET
• The degree of set ranges in value from 0 to 1
• 1.0 means free yarn still holds the same shape
of the loop as when it was in fabric
• Zero means free yarns return to its original
shape as pulled from the package before
knitting
• A perfect degree of set 1.0 may not be possible,
but a zero degree of set is just as unlikely
It is calculated by…
Degree of set = L0 – LU
• L0 – L F
• L0- length of unraveled yarn
• LU-length of crimped yarn after unraveling
• LF- distance covered by the yarn in the
fabric along the course line
INFERENCE
Effect of RESIN FINISH on the
DEGREE OF SET of the yarn
• Concentration of resin is directly
proportional to the degree of set
i.e. degree of set increases with the
increase in resin level
• The degree of set approaches the value of
1.0 as the resin content increases
Effect of RESIN FINISH on the
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
• Dimensional stability is related to the degree of
set, which in turn is related to the resin finish
• Concentration of resin is directly
proportional to the dimensional stability
• Higher resin finish - higher degree of set
therefore less dimensional changes, and hence
more dimensional stability
• Resin finishing imparts shape retention to
the fabric
Relationship between DEGREE OF
SET and SHRINKAGE
• Shrinkage level of a fabric due to washing
is related to the application of resin finish
• The level of shrinkage of the fabric
decrease with the increase in the degree
of set in the yarn
i.e. shrinkage is inversely proportional
to the degree of set
CONCLUSIONS
• Resin treatment increases the degree of set
• Resin treatment reduces dimensional change in
the fabric
• Increase in Degree of set, reduces shrinkage
• More dimensional stability means less residual
shrinkage
• Resin finish increases the degree of set
which in turn increases the dimensional
stability
