| dc.description.abstract | Three groups of materials were employed in this investigation The first consisted of plain were fabrics of different fibre contents. The second group consisted of five weft pile fabrics (corduroys). The third group consists of plain wer e cotton fabrics subjected to finishing treatments of scouring and mercerization. They were tested both mechanically and subjectively for the three main fabric handle properties, namely, extension/stretchiness, flexion/stiffness and friction/Smoothness. Effect of sled speed on fabric friction was also investigated. From the results obtained it is clear that fabric handle depends on the fibre content, yarn and fabric construction and finishing treatments. It is shown that an increase in sled speed gives a smoother feel. Also, the closer or the shallower the cords, the smoother will be the feel for the weft-pile fabrics. Initial Young's modulus was found to be most closely related to the subjective stretchiness. Scouring caused decrease in elongation and increase in warp crimp of a plain were Cotton fabric due to consolidation. It however, stabilized after the sixth wash. Finally, increase in caustic soda concentration produced hard and rough surfaces. | en_US |
