Abstract

Abstract: This study focused on the development of woven structures based on leno weave with tailored performance properties. To achieve this objective, pure leno and hybrid leno weaves were used to produce woven fabrics. In hybrid weaves, leno weave was combined with 1/1 plain, 3/1 twill, and 2/2 matt weaves, and 12 samples were produced with three different weft thread densities. The multifilament polyester yarn was used as warp and weft material. The characterization of physical and mechanical properties showed that comparable tensile properties were achieved by leno and hybrid weave fabrics, but the hybrid structures offered lower resistance to puncture as compared to pure leno fabrics. A multi-response optimization technique was used to determine the best sample under a particular set of conditions.
