The Peculiarities of Clothing Fabrics During Exploitational Behavior

Abstract

The behavior of polyester (PES), polyamide (PA) and acetate (CA) fibrous fabrics in clothing exploitation conditions (washing, softening and thermo-mechanical formation) is analyzed. The estimation of the investigated materials behavior was performed according to the measurements of electrostatic charge accumulation, friction, hand and structure parameters. The strength of adhesion interaction between the specimen and glass stand and its changes due to accumulation of the electrostatic charge was controlled by a friction experiment. The variations of the intensity of X-ray diffraction peaks from the main fibrous polymer reflection planes due to the technological treatment regimes are presented. The dependencies between the textile hand parameters and concentration of chemical softener were determined.
