Research Article A SCITECHNOL JOURNAL
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to examine the physical
characteristics of three different types of 100% cotton 1/1 plain
woven fabrics. Fabrics like canvas, poplin, and voile are taken
into consideration. These textiles have a 60-inch width in
common. Tear strength, tensile strength, weight (g/m
2
), cover
factor, shrinkage, air permeability, Martindale pilling resistance,
and Ultra-Violet Transmission were all tested on the fabrics.
The experiments were carried out using the ASTM & AATCC
Standards test procedure, which is mentioned further down in
this document. In comparison to poplin and voile, canvas cloth
has superior weight and strength qualities. In comparison to the
other two textiles, voile fabric had a higher value of shrinkage
and Ultra-Violet Protection Factors (UPF). The air permeability
of canvas fabrics is higher. The research is based on exercise,
and the findings support textile specialists. Researchers will be
able to pursue this field further because of our investigation.

Introduction
There is immense importance of this research in the field of cotton
fabrics manufacturing industries as well as sellers. Different scholars
worked regarding this investigation at different times where literature
review exposed different consequences. Some of them were parallel
and some of them were widely different. Woven fabrics are subjected
to a wide range of complex deformations during usage [1]. Strength is
directly related to the polyester content percentage of the cotton-
polyester blended woven fabrics [2].
Woven fabrics are made by the interlacement of two different sets
of yarns. In these two sets, one is called the warp and another is called
the weft. Woven fabrics are made with the interlacement process of
warp and weft at a right angle. Generally, woven fabrics are
manufactured in weaving loom, and made of yarns woven on
a warp and a weft [3]. Shrinking capacity is a very important factor for
the clothing industry and very strict claims are made for this property.
No more than 3% shrinkage in the cross and lengthways directions of
the fabric is allowable. A matter of primary interest for fabric
shrinking capacity is fabric structure, which is characterized by seven
main parameters: fabric warp and weft raw material, the linear density
of warp and weft yarns, densities of warp, and weft, and fabric weave.
All these factors together determine the fabric's formation, parameters,
and characteristics [4].
Woven fabrics are mainly three types such as plain, twill, and satin.
Plain weave fabrics are mainly manufactured by the two sets of yarns
with the 1 up and 1 down process at right angles. The higher the
surface openness, the lower or more negligible the influences of other
factors on UPF values. The colour of a fabric plays an important role
in UV ray protection in the samples with a sufficiently closed surface
and especially black and blue colours exhibit high absorbance in the
UV wavelength range and provide excellent protection when the
samples are highly closed compact. Other chromatic colors, such as
red, yellow and green also offer adequate very good protection against
UV radiation [5]. In this weave, the warp and weft yarns stay at right
angles and create a durable fabric. Every weft yarn passes the warp
yarn by moving above one and then below the following, and so on.
The subsequent weft yrn goes below the warp yarn that its belonging
passes over, and vice versa [6].
In woven fabrics, there are mainly two cover factor values like
warp cover factor and weft cover factor. Cover factor hangs on some
issues like yarn count, thickness, density, and shape [7]. These yarns
run parallel to their corresponding yarns. Muslin is a type of
fabric that is made up of 100% cotton yarns with the interlacement
portion of one up and one down. The yarn count of muslin clothes is
very fine ranges from 200Ne to 300Ne [8]. With the higher
interlacement ratio, plain weave fabrics showed the maximum cover
factor values. Rigidity or compactness was less in the twill and satin
weave compared to plain woven fabrics. More thread counts like EPI
and PPI showed more cover factor values. Extra crimp from plain
weave fabrics due to more interlacement ratio has a greater advantage
for more weight (g/m
2
) values [9]. It can simply make a relationship
between outward evenness and abrasion. Consequently, the higher the
exterior zone of reproduction yarns, the greater would be the clothes
balance and, hence, the higher would be the frictional confrontation
[10]. This strength of woven cloth is one of the most significant
characteristics which make it bigger in many applications as related to
nonwoven and knitted clothes.
The property of shrinkage is expressed as the change of
measurement through the length and width of the clothes after
washing, either in hot water or in cold water. When cotton fabrics are
submerged in water, they started to shrink in both warp and weft ways
to neutralize pressures obtained from the processing finishing
department. Shrinkage values are both types like positive and
negative. Positive shrinkage refers that a fabric that will increase in
length after washing. Wherein negative shrinkage fabrics started to
shrink or reduce their length after washing [11].
The Cover factor is a technical dimension of the proportion area of
the cloth enclosed by the yarns. The Cover factor is dependent on the
construction of the clothes and the type of yarns used. Plain weave
fabrics expressed the best cover factor values compared to twill and
satin weave fabrics [12]. Air permeability is a property that
measures how effortlessly air passes through the clothes. It specifies
the breathability of fabrics. The more the air-permeability is, the better
the breathability is. Air-permeable clothes have a habit to have
