The Effect of Using Silver Fiber Content Yarns in Shirting Fabrics on Abrasion Resistance and Pilling Properties

ABSTRACT

In the study, shirting satin fabrics were produced using 100% cotton yarn and using yarns containing different proportions of silver fiber. The effect of silver fiber, which is used to gain antibacterial properties to shirting fabrics, on the pilling and abrasion resistance of fabrics were investigated. It is determined that even fabrics containing a small amount of silver fiber have very good antibacterial properties. It is concluded that the pilling behavior of the fabrics containing silver fiber compared to the reference fabric varies but is not affected by the increase in the silver fiber ratio in the fabric. The change of silver fiber ratio in the fabrics did not have a significant effect on the abrasion resistance.

摘要

本研究以100%纯棉纱为原料, 采用不同比例的银纤维纱线, 生产出衬衫绸缎面料. 研究了抗菌银纤维对衬衫面料的抗起球和耐磨性的影响. 结果表明, 即使是含有少量银纤维的织物也具有很好的抗菌性能. 结果表明, 含银纤维织物的起球性能与参考织物相比有所不同, 但不受银纤维比例增加的影响. 银纤维含量的变化对织物的耐磨性影响不大.
