Studies on the Effect of Pre-Treatments on the Physical Characteristics of Woven (100% Cotton) Fabric

Abstract

The physical properties of woven fabric play a crucial role in determining the quality of the finished product. One of the most important processes involved in the production of woven fabric is the pretreatment process. The pretreatment process involves several steps that are designed to improve the quality of the fabric and make it suitable for further processing. In this thesis paper, we will examine the changes in physical properties of woven fabric before and after the pretreatment process. The objective of this study is to analyze the changes in physical properties of woven fabric before and after the pretreatment process. The study employed a quantitative research design, with the data being collected through experimental testing. We will examine the different methods of pretreatment, including scouring, bleaching, and mercerization, and their impact on the physical properties of the fabric. These changes in physical properties of woven fabric before and after pretreatment process are important for the textile industry to optimize the pretreatment process and produce high-quality fabric . The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the pretreatment process and its effects on the physical properties of woven fabric. For this study we examine EPI, PPI , GSM, Crimp% before and after pre treatment process . This literature review aims to discuss the changes in physical properties such as EPI (ends per inch), PPI (picks per inch), GSM (grams per square meter), and crimp% of woven fabrics before and after pretreatment processes.
