Wrinkle Force and Wrinkle Recovery of Worsted Fabrics: A Novel Approach

In current work some structures effect of woven parameters on wrinkle force woven fabrics was investigated. Different textile fabrics including of 5 woven fabric samples with different wool and polyester fiber compositions, fabric designs, yarn count, warp and weft density and woven thickness were prepared and then wrinkle force was continuously measured along two warp and weft directions while constant torsional strain (32 degrees) imposed on the specimen. For obtaining of wrinkle force, Automatic Wrinkle Force Tester and Wrinkle Recovery Tester AATCC128 made form Shirly corporation for evaluation of wrinkle recovery were used. Also for statistical analysis and modeling consideration SPSS Ver.11 and Curve Expert Ver.1.3 software were utilized. The result shown the some textile structure parameters affected on wrinkle behavior and wrinkle force of woven fabrics in other warp and weft direction were different. Furthermore fabrics density has greater effects on wrinkle force in weft and warp direction than other parameters. However appropriate coefficient of variation between actual and predicted value concluded that nonlinear regression about wrinkle parameters of woven fabrics were obtained.
