Evaluation of Comfort and Handle Behavior of Mulberry Silk Waste/Wool Blended Fabrics for End Use

ABSTRACT

The present study investigates tactile, thermal, physiological comfort, and hand values of newly developed mulberry silk waste/wool blended fabrics for end use. Intimate blended fabrics S₁ (65s/35w, 2/33 × 33 tex) and S₂ (65s/35w, 2/25 × 25 tex) had higher resilience as well as warpwise extensibility, whereas union-blended fabrics S₃ (100w × 65s/35w, 2/33 × 33 tex) and S₄ (100w × 65s/35w, 2/25 × 25 tex) had high bending hysteresis, high tensile energy, lower coefficient of friction, and less geometric roughness. S_1, S₂, and S₄ fabrics exhibited higher transmission properties against air and moisture vapor whereas S₃ fabric showed superior thermal insulation properties. S₁ found significantly different (p ≤ .05) from S₂ in terms of smoothness, uniformity, and aesthetic appearance. Total hand value of developed fabrics showed its suitablilty for women’s light weight winter dress material and suitings, whereas union-blended fabrics were suitable for men’s winter suitings. Stoles, mufflers, throws, and khes (bed covering) were the most suitable end uses in terms of intimate blended fabrics while shawls, lohis (gents shawl) mufflers, and khes were the most suitable end uses of union-blended fabrics.

桑蚕丝/羊毛混纺织物终端用途的舒适性和手感性能评价

本研究探讨新开发的桑蚕丝/羊毛混纺织物终端用途的触觉，热，生理舒适性和手感性能值。精密混纺织物S1（65s / 35W， 2 / 33×33 tex）和S2（65s / 35W，2 / 25×25 tex）有较高的韧性以及经向延伸性，而交织混纺织物S3（100W×65s / 35W，2 / 33×33 tex）和S4（100W×65s / 35W，2 / 25×25 tex）具有较高的抗弯滞后，高15抗张能量，摩擦系数较低，较少几何粗糙度。S1，S2和S4的织物表现出对空气和湿气更高的传输特性，而S3织物表现出优异的热绝缘性能。S1与S2在光滑，均匀性和美观方面发现显著差异（p≤.05）。 手感性能值20的开发面料适宜女性轻质冬季服装面料和西装面料，而交织混纺织物适合秋冬男士西装面料。精密混纺织物最适合的最终用途是用在披肩，围巾，和印度粗斜纹布（床罩），同时交织混纺织物最合适的最终用途是用在披肩，罗溪丝（绅士披肩），围巾和印度粗斜纹布。
