THE MECHANICS OF BENDING AND WRINKLING IN WOOL-DACRON WORSTED FABRICS
Abstract
The addition of 50% of Dacron to wool in a light weight worsted fabric provides a lack of senstivity to thedverse effects of high humidity which is almost as great as that possessed by fabri made from 100% Dacron. This should result in an improvd appearance during wear, ven unde adverse humidity conditions. The use of a coarser than normal wool fiber for these light constructions also proved successful, the behavior being essentiallyas good for 56's quality as for 64's quality wool. A mechanistic analysis of the data provided a further understanding of th specific function of the non-swelling fiber i the blend. (Author)
