A Comparison of Color Fastness Properties of Mulberry Silk and Tussah Silk Fabrics in Blends with Cellulosic Fibers

ABSTRACT

Although it has been used for centuries; silk’s appearance, touch, and other high-quality properties maintain the popularity of the fiber. However, there are different types of silkworms, so different types of silk fibers are available. Other than Mulberry silk there are some others: eri, muga, tasar and tussah, which are generally deemed “wild silk”. In this study, color fastness properties of one of these wild silk fibers: tussah was investigated in comparison with mulberry silk fiber. For comparison, mulberry and tussah silk fibers were blended with cotton, viscose rayon, and modal fibers and spun using open-end rotor spinning system. After yarn productions; single jersey fabrics were knitted, pretreated and dyed. Color fastness tests were made to evaluate the performances. Results indicate that both types of silk fibers are appropriate for spinning and knitting processes and the fastness results revealed that mulberry fibers resulted with better color fastness properties in comparison with tussah silk fibers

摘要

虽然它已被使用几个世纪;丝绸的外观、触感等高品质性能保持了纤维的流行. 然而，有不同类型的蚕，所以不同类型的丝纤维是可用的. 除了桑莓丝之外，还有其他一些：伊里、木瓜、塔萨尔和图萨，它们通常被视为“野生丝绸”. 本研究对其中一种野生丝纤维的色牢度特性进行了研究：与桑蚕丝纤维相比，研究了杜莎. 比较而言，桑树和杜莎丝纤维与棉花、粘胶人造丝、模态纤维和纺纱混合使用开放式转子纺纱系统. 纱线生产后;单一球衣织物针织，预处理和染色. 进行了颜色牢度测试以评估性能. 结果表明，这两种丝纤维均适用于纺纱和针织工艺，牢度结果表明，与杜莎丝纤维相比，桑蚕纤维具有较好的色牢度.
