Development of Polyester/Wool Uniform Fabrics with Improved Durability and Appearance.

Abstract

The mechanism of 'frosting' of polyester/wool uniform fabrics has been established. An exploratory research and development program has been carried out to establish those factors in the composition, construction, and processing of polyester/wool uniform fabrics which contribute to their wearing characteristics, particularly their pilling and frosting behavior. Based on findings, six (6) specification fabrics exhibiting improved wear performance have been prepared for a service test program.
