Chapter 5: Conclusion

5.1 Key Findings:


 Peel strength at different parameters (temperature, pressure, and time) was assessed.
Where cotton exhibits better strength and polyester shows less strength,
 Bending length of different interlinings at different parameters were studied. Polyester
has higher bending length means higher stiffness.
 Loss of strength of interlining bond after wash is studied here.
 Determining the best parameters for the

5.2 Limitations
 Sourcing raw materials from local market with proper information is time consuming
and not reliable. Rather ,collect it from sourcing company or buying house.
 Only one type of resin was used for the experiment.
 Only three types of parameter combinations were used.
 Only one weave of fabric used here as shell fabric
 Fabric contains one type of composition
 AUST doesn’t have a washing machine, so we had to visit AKDL lab to use washing
machine.

5.3 Future Scope


 Combinations of parameters (temperature, pressure & duration) would be possible.
 Use of various types of resin would be an opportunity.
 Sewn interlining would be used.
 Variation of fabric weave, composition would be insightful.
 Development of interlining would be possible.
5.4 Conclusion:
Interlining is an essential trimming for woven pants and trousers. It retains the shape of the
waistband and withstands compressive force. From this experimental project work, we found the
optimal fusing parameters that suit 100% cotton of 3/1 twill weave fabric in terms of bond/peel
strength and stiffness. Among those three types of interlining (base fabric: polyester,
polyester/cotton, and cotton), P/C interlining fabric showed optimal results for both peel strength
and stiffness. Furthermore, polyester interlining fabric illustrates higher stiffness and lower
bond/peel strength. Whereas cotton interlining fabric demonstrates lower stiffness and higher
bond/peel strength. As a result, the blend of polyester and cotton shows optimal results. This
result also depends on the temperature, time, and pressure. At high temperatures, resin totally
melts. However, higher temperatures mean higher costs. So an optimal temperature is required.
Along with it, duration should be optimal. Higher time means proper melting of resin. But it’ll
reduce production. Pressure is an important factor. Pressure helps to join the interlining fabric
with the shell fabric when resin is melted. After all those considerations, parameters of 190˚C
temperature, 3 bar of pressure, and 23 s of time and 170˚C temperature, 2 bar of pressure, and 17
s of time showed the best performance for P/C interlining fabric. where the first set of parameters
gives high performance, the second set of parameters is more energy efficient at the optimal
level.
