Abstract
In this work, the compression behaviour of clothing woven fabrics, before and after abrasion on the Martindale’s device, has been examined. Plain and 3/1 twill weave fabrics from cotton and cotton/polyester fiber blends served as experimental material. Compression behaviour of the investigated fabrics was analyzed taking the compressibility, thickness loss, and compressive resilience into consideration. Obtained results showed that the changes of compression properties are in a function of the structural parameters of tested fabrics, as well as damages caused by abrasion. Besides, the results of compressibility, thickness loss, and compressive resilience enabled establishing the quality of examined fabrics based on values of complex criterion. Calculated value of complex criterion pointed to the conclusion that abrasion causes the reduction of quality of tested fabrics in a small extent. Twill weave fabric made of cotton/polyester fiber blends is characterized by the best quality while cotton plain weave fabric has the worst quality, before as well as after abrasion.
