Abstract

This paper studies the effect of microfluorocarbon woven fabric (CWF) fabrication on the texture-related properties of woven fabrics. A comparative study was carried out between the raw fabric with different textile compositions and densities of the meat and their microfluorocarbons treated with respect to surface thickness, compressibility, extensibility, formability, shear and flexion resistance. A two-way analysis of variance was performed to reveal the significance of the effect of both meat density and histological composition on the tangential properties of raw woven fabrics and microfluorocarbons treatment. A statistical test was also conducted to detect the significance of the effect of microfluorocarbons on these properties as well. Regression analysis was used to derive linear regression equations that predicted the texture properties of the studied tissue samples at different meat densities. The results of this study revealed that the fabric parameters such as histological structure and weft density had a very significant moral effect on the physical properties of woven fabrics. It also turned out that the treatment of woven fabrics with microfluorocarbons had improved and significantly improved the quality of these types of fabrics.
