A Review on “The Structural Geometry of Textile Fabrics”

Abstract: The overall performance and functionality of the textile fabric depend on the geometrical properties of the fabrics. This article explores key geometrical parameters such as yarn density, fabric thickness, fabric structure, GSM of the fabric, texture, etc. Understanding these structural characteristics is essential for the development of innovative fabric design and so influences the end use. The study provides valuable insights for the textile designers and researchers in the selection or development of textile fabrics for the particular functionality.
