Abstract :In this study, the effects of the weave structures used in the base fabric on the surface roughness parameters of coated polyester fabrics were investigated. 100% polyester fabrics woven with different weft yarn densities in the basket, twill, and sateen weave patterns were coated with calcite (CaCO3), a widely used and economical filler in the textile coating. The surface properties of the fabrics were examined by evaluating various surface roughness parameters such as arithmetic average height (Ra), mean height of peaks (Rpm), and mean depth of valleys (Rvm). Warp yarn properties were kept constant to investigate the effect of changes in weave pattern and weft yarn density. Experimental results indicated that surface roughness values changed depending on the weave pattern of the base fabric, warp and weft directions, and weft yarn density. Overall, after the coating process, the Ra, Rpm, and Rvm values decreased in both the weft and warp directions.
