ABSTRACT: This
study examined the effects of the enzyme cellulose on a few single jersey and
interlock 100% flax t-shirts, two different styles of knit children’s clothes
that differ in both their chemical and mechanical characteristics. Clothing
samples were dyed using reactive colours and then subjected to normal acid
cellulose enzyme treatment procedures. We evaluated some physical and
mechanical features before and after cellulose treatments, then compared these
characteristics. Its cellulose enzymatic processing enhances some mechanical
properties of fibre knitwear, such as pilling resistance and retention of
water. Some
characteristics of fibre-knitted clothing, such as fabric weight, fabric
thickness, fabric burst resistance, and seam tensile strength of T-shirt side
seams, are reduced by cellulose enzyme treatment at a manageable rate. Compared
to single-jersey all-fiber children’s T-shirts, interlocking 100% flax children’s
T-shirts have a better effect of the enzyme cellulose treatment on the majority
of physical and mechanical attributes.
