Abstract: | Murata vortex spinning system is based on the air jet spinning system. The vast majority of previous works deal with the properties
of vortex spun (VS) yarn and the spinning system. In this study, we investigated knitted fabrics from VS yarn in comparison
with fabrics from ring (RS), compact (CS) and open-end rotor (OES) spun yarns made from viscose. The effect of yarn spinning
system on dimensional and physical properties of knitted fabrics was explained with specific attention to fabrics from VS
yarn. Shrinkage of fabrics from VS yarn has the lowest at widthwise direction, while having the highest at lengthwise direction.
It is shown that the order of fabric spirality and twist liveliness for yarns from different spinning systems are quite similar.
However, relation between loop shape factor and angle of spirality is inconsistent. Angle of spirality of fabrics from VS
yarn is higher than fabrics from OES yarn, but lower than that of others. The bursting strength of fabrics from VS yarn is
lower than that of those from RS and CS yarns and higher than that of those from OES yarn. From this study, it is also evident
that fabrics from VS yarn have the lowest pilling tendency and highest resistance to abrasion. |
