Abstract

The Elastic band plays a tremendous role in fashionable garments due to its excellent elongation and recovery. Recently the elastic band had a significant value in the compressive garments, which support multiple applications such as medical textile. Several references mentioned that elastic band properties are affected thru various parameters consequently on its performance. Currently, polyester microfiber characterizes novel properties that make it used widely in the textile industry. Therefore, the article aimed to produce an elastic band with different polyester microfiber cross-sections and stitch densities. Various functional properties and elasticity properties were tested. Three analytical tools were executed; Correlation coefficient, ANOVA test, and Radar area.
The findings indicate that yarn cross-section effect significantly on samples performance where Trilobal cross-section achieves the highest rank than circular. Furthermore, the findings point that increasing stitch density degrades the functional property of the elastic band, whilst improving elasticity properties. In addition, the findings refer that the tightness factor plays a striker role in elastic band behavior, especially on stiffness as a functional property and modulus as an elasticity property.
