THE EFFECTS AND INTERACTIONS OF THE MAIN KNITTED FABRICS PARAMETERS

In the work reported here, plain and 1*1 rib flat knitted acrylic fabrics, of three clows were subject to four relaxation treatments, in order to investigate their dimensional stability. The key element studied to understand the dimensional behaviour of knitted fabrics is the geometry of the loop. For the case, we have measured the structural parameters, thickness, weight and course and wale shrinkages.
