Abstract

Interlacing of fiber bundles offers advantages in terms of good dimensional stability and high packing density. Woven fabric  interlacing structure sourced from natural fiber (NF) has gained greater attention due to increasing environmental awareness. This study emphasizes the development of a weaving device suitable for yarns that are thick and coarse in structure. Furthermore, output analysis was performed on the fabrics and a static puncture test was conducted. Fabric analysis involved assessment of the fabric’s characterization, such as fabric thickness, weight, density, wavelength and inter-yarn porosity. The fabric puncture test was conducted to determine the puncture resistance of the output produced. A tabletop weaving device was successfully developed in this research and is capable of weaving NF yarns with different degrees of fabric tightness. The results demonstrated that fabrics with lower porosity values have greater puncture resistance and a higher deflection rate of failure. It is apparent that the developed weaving device can produce tight woven structure fabrics from NF yarns with excellent puncture resistance.
