INFLUENCES OF ALKALI PRETREATMENT ON LYOCELL WOVEN FABRIC PROPERTIES AFTER ABRASION

Abstract

In this study, alkali pretreatment in various concentrations were applied to Lyocell woven fabrics to decrease the fibrillation tendency of fibers and the influences of alkali pretreatment on tensile and tearing properties of Lyocell fabrics after abrasion were investigated. Alkali pretreatment reduced fibrillation of Lyocell fibers. However, fabric shrinkage occurred because of the increased volume and damaged twisted structure of yarns due to the lateral fiber swelling. The warp/weft densities and crimp ratios increased as the alkali concentrations increased. The breaking and tearing loads of untreated Lyocell fabrics were higher than those of alkali pretreated fabrics since the strength loss caused by alkali pretreatment. The abrasive load caused fiber breakages and fiber entanglements on fabrics and decreased the both breaking and tearing loads. The weave types with long floating interlacements on the fabric surface were more severely damaged by exposing to abrasive load and resulted as higher strength reduction.
