Abstract

This study was conducted on the visible–near-infrared camouflage properties of olive hue poly(ethylene terephthalate) multifilament mass dyed yarn textured by two texturizing method (simultaneous and conventional). The effect of thermal process and structural changes on the reflectance, mechanical, and crimp properties of these yarns was studied using the DSC, XRD, and birefringence analyses. It was observed that simultaneously textured mass dyed multifilament yarns have higher crimp properties and lower mechanical properties. Furthermore, the effect of yarns’ geometry in the fabric structure on the reflectance properties was investigated using images of fabric structure. The results showed that the reflectance behavior of fabric sample is affected by two major factors, namely structural and geometrical factors; it is clear that the geometrical factor has a significant effect on the reflectance properties.
