Experimental determination of the frictional characteristics of fabrics made of natural silk

Natural silk fabric is directly derived from insect produced cocoons containing large volumes of fibroin protein. The fibres secreted by the two glands Bombyx mori are smooth and soft form structural center silk. Sericin a coating with an amorphous structure that bonds strands. It component hardening raw thread. as we know it low mass per unit area. level friction textile materials depends on number test factors - normal load, contact surface area, speed, well nature direction warp warp, – weft. In this study, four types made 100% natural have been examined. They all different characteristics for weave, density linear weft threads. study makes use appliance tribometer MXD -02, Labthink, China to determine values static dynamic coefficients. Friction conducted in directions under pressure. This experimental has clearly showed fabrics higher display coefficient (at rest sliding) greater than 1. index influenced where one parallel arrangement threads compared another fabric.
