Description

In this work, the influence of various structural and process parameters (such as linear density of core and cover and draw ratio) on the mechanical behaviour of elastane yarn has been thoroughly investigated. According to the experimental results, elastane yarns with high linear density core and cover and produced using higher draw ratio showed the best mechanical properties in terms of both strength and extension.
