description

Abstract During wear, the fabric is subjected to a complex combination of forces acting at various rates, in various intensities, in various directions and for various periods. This is one of the main causes of a fabric and garment becoming unacceptable for further wear. The main goal of this research paper is to improve the physical-mechanical properties of knits for garments by choosing the right fabric structure and raw material. The abrasion resistance is a mechanical deterioration and progressive loss of substance from a fabric, resulting from the fabric rubbing against itself or another surface. Tests was done on weft knitted fabric for garments using cotton, wool and mixed yarns, three different patterns, according to the EN ISO EN ISO 12947: 1999 - Determination of Abrasion Resistance of Fabrics by Martindale Method. For assessment, two different methods were performed.
