Abstract
In this paper, the effect of mercerising on the mechanical properties of cotton fabrics related to handle has studied. The fabric mechanical properties have been evaluated by the KES-F system. The results are summarizad as follows : (1) The bending properties (B and 2HB), compressing resilience (RC) and tensile resilience (RT) has considerably increased by the mercerising process, but the shearing histeresis has been decreased remarkably. (2) The grey mercerised fabric has decreased remarkably in the values of the bending (B and 2HB) and shearing properties (G and 2HG) in comparison with the normal mercerised fabrics.
