The destructive effects of sun UV radiation on human skins are now very clear to everyone. Most of the present studies were focused on the fabrics’ structural parameters such as density, warp and weft yarns finenesses, fabric pattern and printing or finishing treatments applied to the fabrics. The aim of this work is achieving a technique through which the produced fabrics possess a higher UV-protection ability. For this purpose, two different metals including aluminium and copper yarns were employed in fabrics production process and their effects on UV-protection ability of the produced fabrics were investigated. Six different fabric samples comprised of either cotton/polyester, nylon yarns as the warp yarns as well as either aluminium or copper yarns as the weft yarns were produced. Using the spectrophotometer technique, which is known as one of the UPF measuring method, the absorbency and reflectivity of fabrics within the specified range of electromagnetic waves (specially the UV radiation) were determined. The results illustrated that the higher UV absorbency was related to the fabric possessing the copper yarns in their structures. It was concluded that the absorption ability of nylon fabrics is higher than that of the cotton/polyester samples.

This paper focuses on measuring the roughness of knitted fabrics using a non-contact method. Research on objectifying the handle of textile fabrics is a very important factor in textile and garment manufacturing and retailing industries. Fabric handle is influenced by mechanical and surface properties. The KES-F system is a standard objectified method among different measurement methods. However, the KES-F system is time-consuming, and the translation of the data measured is difficult. In addition, the KES-F method as a contact-method is more easily affected by environmental conditions, such as moisture, and is not suitable as an on-line system in the manufacturing process. Hence the surface roughness of knitted fabrics without any deformation was measured by a non-contact method using a high resolution scanner. The data was controlled on a computer by using MATLAB software to obtain the roughness index. The results were compared with the surface characteristic values (SMD) measured by the KES-F system. The findings show a good correlation between fabric roughness values measured by the two different methods. Moreover, a negative correlation coefficient shows that the roughness value measured by Kawabata changes reversely proportional to those measured by the image processing method. Finally, the non-contact measurement of fabric roughness using a high resolution scanner is useful for the description of fabric roughness.

Omówiono bezkontaktową metodę pomiaru szorstkości powierzchni dzianin, bardzo ważnego czynnika zarówno dla produkcji dzianin i odzieży. Chwyt materiału uwarunkowany jest właściwościami powierzchni oraz parametrami mechanicznymi materiału. Powszechnie stosowaną metodą jest metoda KES-F, która jednakże jest metodą kontaktową podlegającą różnorodnym wpływom w tym wilgotności powietrza i nie nadaje się do stosowania on-line. Dodatkowo metoda jest czasochłonna a uzyskane wyniki trudne do interpretacji. Autorzy zastosowali metodę identyfikacji optycznej za pomocą skanera o dużej rozdzielczości, którego wyniki przetwarzano komputerowo stosując oprogramowanie MATLAB. Uzyskane wyniki porównano z wynikami otrzymanymi metodą KES-F. Otrzymano dużą korelację i stwierdzono praktyczną przydatność analizowanego systemu.
