Abrasion of Fabrics

Effect of Abrasion Process on Reflectance Factor and Color Change of Chenille Woven Fabrics

This paper focuses on effect of abrasion process on color and reflectance factor changes of dyed woven fabrics containing 100% acrylic chenille yarns in weft and cotton warp yarns. Three fabrics having 12, 14 and 16 weft per centimeter were dyed with three basic dyes in different hues. Four different abrasion levels, i.e. 50,200,400 and 650 were selected to abrade samples. The obtained results ...

Self-healing of the superhydrophobicity by ironing for the abrasion durable superhydrophobic cotton fabrics

Self-healing of the superhydrophobic cotton fabric (SCF) obtained by the radiation-induced graft polymerization of lauryl methacrylate (LMA) and n-hexyl methacrylate (HMA), can be achieved by ironing. Through the steam ironing process, the superhydrophobicity of the SCFs will be regenerated even after the yarns are ruptured during the abrasion test under a load pressure of 44.8 kPa. SCFs made f...

Investigation of Flexible Crosslinking Systems for the Retention of Mechanical Strength and Abrasion Resistance in Durable Press Cotton Fabrics Investigators:

N-methylol compounds, such as dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU), are the most commonly used durable press finishing agents for cotton fabrics by the industry. In this research, we have examined the effects of the catalyst systems used for DMDHEU on the mechanical strength of the crosslinked cotton fabric. The catalysts induce degradation of cellulose as indicated by the decrease in the t...

Investigation of Flexible Crosslinking Systems for the Retention of Mechanical Strength and Abrasion Resistance in Durable Press Cotton Fabrics

N-methylol compounds, such as dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU), are the most commonly used durable press finishing agents for cotton fabrics. Polyfunctional carboxylic acids are becoming important as non-formaldehyde replacements for these N-methylol reactants. The use of both chemistries has been shown to cause an irreversible reduction in the physical properties of finished fabric, be...
