Abstract:

Since the coloring process is eliminated, ecological and cheaper textile products are obtained with natural colored cotton fiber. Angora fiber is also a special animal fiber with its brightness, white color, soft attitude and heat retention. It is believed that with the combination of both products that keep warm, positive effects on health and the environment can be achieved. In this study, natural colored cotton fiber and Angora rabbit fiber were produced by mixing lines in different proportions, and from these lines were obtained double-faced fitting tissues. Since Angora fiber can cause discomfort in direct contact with the thin, one face is 100% colored cotton, the other face is 100% colored cotton - Angora mixture is designed to be 100% natural colored cotton. For the purpose of comparison, the two faces were also produced a double-layer control sample of 100% colored cotton. The thermal comfort characteristics of the produced fabric have been measured; the use of different faces as internal or external layers and the impact of different Angora proportions on these characteristics have been studied. The results showed that the clothes create a warmer feeling in case of internal percentage of the layer containing Angora fiber, and the increase in the Angora percentage in the wire structure causes higher heat insulation but lower water steam passivity.
