This paper presents a study of some physical and mechanical properties of bamboo, cotton  and bamboo/cotton woven fabrics that are commonly used in the textile industry. 4 different weave type fabrics were produced under industrial conditions by using 100% bamboo of 36.90 tex as the weft yarn, three different mixes of bamboo/cotton and 100% cotton yarn. Unevenness, breaking strength-strain and number analyses were carried out on the weft and warp yarns. Tests of dimensional stability, air permeability, water absorption, abrasion resistance and bending rigidity were applied to the fabrics produced. The effect of the yarn and weave types on the physical and mechanical properties of the fabric were examined statistically. It was found that the weave type affects the physical and mechanical properties of the fabric more than the fiber mix and type in the weft yarn.

Abstract:

 This paper presents a study of some physical and mechanical properties of bamboo, cotton  and bamboo/cotton woven fabrics that are commonly used in the textile industry. 4 different weave type fabrics were produced under industrial conditions by using 100% bamboo of 36.90 tex as the weft yarn, three different mixes of bamboo/cotton and 100% cotton yarn. Unevenness, breaking strength-strain and number analyses were carried out on the weft and warp yarns. Tests of dimensional stability, air permeability, water absorption, abrasion resistance and bending rigidity were applied to the fabrics produced. The effect of the yarn and weave types on the physical and mechanical properties of the fabric were examined statistically. It was found that the weave type affects the physical and mechanical properties of the fabric more than the fiber mix and type in the weft yarn.
