A Study on the Crease Recovery of Plain Woven Fabrics

평직물의 구김에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study was to investigate the crease recovery and the elastic recovery as a function of the direction of plain woven fabrics. The crease recovery was measured by Mosanto's Method and the elastic recovery was investigated by Autograph for ten kinds of plain woven fabric samples. The results were as follows; 1. Values of crease recovery were in the order of bias>weft>warp. 2. The lengthening of recovery time had a little effect on crease recovery. 3. The directions of crease recovery were affected by that of thread twist. 4. The linearity was shown between total crease recovery and warp-weft crease recovery. 5. The linearity was found between crease recovery and elastic recovery in the fabrics.
