Studies on influence of Eri/wool fibre blending on Abrasion resistance of Eri/ wool blended fabric

摘要

When fabric is rubbed against surface, abrasion of the fibre surface occurs due to friction. Abrassion is the rubbing away of component fibres and yams of the fabric. The fabric wear of the material depends on the construction of yarn or fabric. The life of the fabric depends on the resistance to abrasion. Moreover the type of fibre determines the abrasion resistance of fabric. Thus a study was carried out to know the influence of Eri/wool fibre blending on Abrasion resistance of Eri/wool blended fabric in respect of thickness loss (%) and in mass loss (%) of the pure Eri, pure wool and its blended fabrics. The study show that Eri silk is more resistance to abrasion, thickness loss% and weight loss%
