The diploma thesis deals with the influence of air-jet and air-jet-vortex yarn on the functionality of fabric. Air-jet yarn and air-jet-vortex yarn in the weft were made of 65% PES and 35% CO fibers and fineness 20 tex. For comparison, a ring spun with the same chemical compositions and fineness was selected. In further research, woven fabrics in the twill weave 1/3 Z in two different densities in the weft direction (20 and 30 threads/cm) were produced from the ring spun yarn, air-jet yarn and the air-jet-vortex yarn.
The first part of the research provides measurements of the physical properties of the analyzed yarns and of the produced woven fabrics (fineness of yarn, yarn diameter, coefficient of friction and mass, thickness, actual density and volumetric porosity of the produced woven fabrics). In the second part of the research the mechanical properties of the analyzed yarns and of the produced woven fabrics were measured (breaking force, breaking elongation, yield point and elasticity modulus), while in the third part of the research more focus was placed on permeability properties (air permeability, water vapor permeability) and abrasion resistance of the fabrics with air-jet yarns in the weft (air-jet yarn and air-jet-vortex yarn) in comparison to those with ring spun yarn in the weft.
Research results show that due to the real twist the ring spun yarn has the highest breaking point and the highest elasticity modulus, elastic recovery, shrinkage and coefficient of friction according to air-jet yarns (air-jet yarn and vortex air-jet yarn). The results also indicate that fabrics with ring spun yarn in the weft have the highest breaking force, air permeability and, at lower density of weft (20 threads/cm), they also have the highest water vapor permeability. The measured values of air-jet-vortex yarn and of fabric with air-jet-vortex in the weft come closest to the results of the measured values for fabrics with a ring spun yarn in weft, which in terms of air-jet yarn and air-jet-vortex yarn has an ideal structure.
