P002_0133_ Characterization of the surface geometry of seersucker woven fabrics

Abstract

The seersucker woven fabrics are characterized by a unique structure and properties resulting from the structure. In the seersucker fabrics the puckered and flat strips occur in turns according to the repeat of the seersucker effect. The structure of the seersucker woven fabrics influences their mechanical, utility and comfort-related properties. The aim of presented work was to analyse the surface topography of the seersucker woven fabrics of different structure. Measurement of the parameters characterizing the surface geometry of the fabrics was performed by means of the MicroSpy® Profile by the FRT the art of metrology ™. On the basis of the results from the profilometer the parameters characterizing the surface topography of the investigated seersucker woven fabrics were analysed. It was stated that the repeat of the seersucker pattern influences the surface parameters of the investigated seersucker woven fabrics.
