Abstract

Main characteristics are presented of knitted fabric sample structure and the structure of nonwoven fabric bonded using the Maliwatt® stitched-and-knitted technique. Two samples of Weft-knitted V fabrics are knitted, one on a V bed flat-knitting machine with four yarns of 20 tex, and the other on double-bed circular knitting machine with 20 tex yarn in a complex rib knit. Fabric sample in opposite plain knit is knitted on warp knitting machine, using 44 dtex yarn. Samples of nonwoven fabrics are made simultaneously and stitch-bonded using stitched- and-knitted Maliwatt® technique, with a single guide bar for stitching of 45 tex. Main structure parameters are tested: breaking force, breaking elongation, as well as elasticity modulus, under different angles to the transversal direction of the samples.
