Abstract
Textured PCA fibre, which has a higher active surface and altered surface microtopography in comparison to standard PCA fibre, is characterized by better wettability. Capillary impregnation of knit fabric containing 50% textured PCA fibre and 50% cotton fibre is much greater (by 4.4 times) than capillary absorption of fabric based on standard PCA fibre. The knit investigated is a shrinkable fabric (group 3) used for mass production based on normative shrinkage values (12-14%). Incorporation of textured PCA fibres in the structure of knits based on cotton fibres increases the strength properties of the fabric by five times and markedly increases its stretchability.
