Comparative Analysis of Laser Treatment on Solid and Yarn Dyed Cotton Fabric

Authored by Marzia Islam

Abstract

In this study, Woven fabric was treated by a carbon dioxide (Co2) laser. Two types of 100% cotton fabrics one is solid dyed, and another is yarn dyed samples were treated with a Co2 laser under the same conditions with two laser processing parameters, namely, (i) resolution and (ii) pixel time, were used to adjust the laser power. After laser treatment, the color properties like Color co-ordinate value following CIE L*a*b* method and Metamerism Index were measured. Abrasion pilling resistance and tear strength were also determined. Then the results were analyzed thoroughly and built up a comparison among them.

Introduction

Laser, a water free physical treatment which provides precision in processing by exposing the textile fabric to laser radiation using efficient intensity. It is considered a clean process that offers low cost and low environmental impact causing the photo-degradation of dye without damaging the textile material [1-3]. From nineteenth century laser is being used in apparel industry [4]. Co2 laser is most suitable for textile materials among all the laser processing machines which are recently available [5,6]. Specially the Co2 pulsed laser, unlike other infra-red lasers, has overcome the shortcoming of the continuous wave mode, causing no thermal damage effect [7]. The Co2 laser is not a good conductor of heat and electricity because its wavelength can be easily absorbed by textiles [8]. The impact of laser treatment is emphasized on the color destruction of 100% cotton fabric [9]. Although the effect of laser treatment on 100% cotton woven fabric has been studied in recent years [10]. The laser treatment for synthetic textile materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyamide (nylon) has been also developed over many years [11,12].

The intent of this study is to assess the effect of Co2 laser treatment on the physical and color properties of 100% cotton woven fabrics having the different structure but were made with same yarn count and weight. A carbon dioxide laser treatment was investigated on the fabrics with different levels of intensity in terms of resolution and pixel time. For that reason, it is important to analyze the impact of laser treatment on the physical properties of the tested fabrics. Different measures such as the tear strength, pilling, color fading effect by evaluating color value have been carried out to establish a most preferable effect.

Materials & Methods

Cotton fabric

Two samples of 100% cotton fabric were collected from Evince Ltd. Bangladesh. The specifications of the samples are shown in Table 1. Both samples were dyed with reactive dye. But the major difference between sample 1 and sample 2 was that the first one is solid dyed and second one is yarn dyed. The two fabrics were conditioned under standard atmospheric condition of 20±20°C and a relative humidity of 65±2% before treatment.

Theoretical Study of Movements Trash in Cotton Lobules In Cleaner Small and Large Trash by Azizov Shuhrat Mamatovich

The article considered mathematical model that describes the separation of large and small trash by weight of cotton, with elastic connection on the cotton. The relationship between the forces acting on the speck on the angular velocity and the radius of the working drum cleaner, laws of motion specks obtained on the surface and inside the cotton mass on the process parameters.
