MASS, PERMEABILITY, AND THICKNESS CHANGES IN ABRADED FABRICS

Abstract

The report presents the changes that take place during the abrasion of textile fabrics. Changes in permeability are shown to be influenced by the extent to which the abraded fabric will retain fiber debris during the course of the abrasion. While the permeability of a cotton oxford fabric decreases continuously and significantly up to the point of hole formation, the permeability of a sateen fabric increases during abrasion, an effect which is normally expected as a result of breakdown in the yarn structure. The extent to which the fiber debris is retained by the fabric is a function of the rate of loss of mass. Thickness decreases are a function more of the type of abrader than of the type of fabric. Changes in permeability as well as in thickness are not simple functions of the degree of abrasion of all fabric types; they must be viewed in terms of the response of specific fabrics to specific types of abrasive action.
