RESEARCH ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SINGLE JERSEY KNITTED OF RECYCLED NYLON AND ELASTANE YARNS
Abstract
Single jersey knitted fabrics are widely used in clothing due to their good properties of durability, stretch, and air permeability. Knitted fabrics with elastane yarns will have improved elasticity, dimensional stability, and are suitable for sportswear, swimwear, etc. This paper, examines the physical and mechanical properties of single jersey fabrics knitted of Nylon and recycled Nylon yarns with elastane. Two single jersey fabric samples knitted of Nylon and recycled Nylon fibers yarns with elastane yarns are N610 (77% Nylon - 23% Elastane) and N813 (87% Recycled Nylon - 13% Elastane). In particular, the main raw material in the study is recycled nylon fabric, which is the trend of developing raw materials for the textile industry in the future to reduce environmental pollution from plastic waste. The results showed that recycled nylon fabric with elastane yarns has the following properties: Strength, elongation, residual stretch and good breathability, suitable for sportswear fabrics following the green production trend of Vietnam's textile industry.
