STUDYING THE FILLING INDICATORS OF SILK-COTTON MIXED FABRICS (BASED ON THE ‘ADRAS’ CLOTH)

Abstract

This article provides information on the reforms ongoing in the Textile Industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan on processing local precious silk fi ber and expanding the output of fi nished products for export. The research has made a review of the pieces of scientifi c work written by Uzbek female scientists on important aspects of the fabrics, which have become the national brand. Existing Adras fabrics were used as a basis for making a new type of the national Adras fabric; a comparative study of fi lling parameters and surface density was carried out. According to the research fi ndings, it can be stated that the principle of thinner and thicker yarns was not observed when choosing the fi lling parameters in plain weave Adras fabrics made with pure cotton yarn and classic Adras fabrics having satin weave. Filling indicators are not theoretically based, which negatively aff ects the appearance (gloss) of the fabric. Therefore, improving the visibility of Adras fabrics, requires a close look into fi lling parameters. In the context of our republic, it would be advisable not only to increase production of national fabrics, but also to expand the scope of signifi cant research as well as to raise involvement of females in scientifi c activities
