Abstract:

The samples were of 8 warp knitted spacer yarns with discuss the different mesh sixes and basic patterns wereselected to descuss the difference of bursting properties. The bursting curve characters and bursting strength of different fabrics were analyzed. The bursting mechanism and impact of bursting strength and reduction from jacquard surface and spacer-layer were analysed. The results showed that that  plain layer has an influence on the first stage of bursting process but the facquard plain is second. The bursting strength was decided by jacquard surface structure and thick structure was greater than that of thin structure. The bursting strength was inversely proportional to the length of the mesh. The spacer structure played a buffer role during the bursting process and increased the fabric reduction. This research provides design consideration and theoretical research foundation for the application of warp knitted facquard spacer fabrics in clothing industry.

Key words: warp knitting, spacer fabric, facquard, bursting property
