The surface change of fabrics before and after abrasion was stu-died by means of scanning electron microscope. With the increasing number of cycles, the re-covery behavior of the fabrics studied in tensile, shear and bending deformation decrease, theantibuckling ability lowers, the friction coefficient increases. The geometric roughness de-creases during the first step of abrasion then enhances with further abrasion. The influence ofabrasion on mechanical properties of the pure wool fabric are larger than that of blend fabric.展开更多

The model accurately fits the exper-imental data on the fibre axial stress relaxation moduli and provides upper and lower bounds forthe initial/final values for the fibre transverse tensile and shear stress relaxation moduli andtransverse Poisson’s ratio. The partially water penertrable filament phase of the composite modelis identified as the microfibrils in the fine structure of keratin. The strong anisotropy of keratinsin mechanical properties and hygral/thermal expansion is analyzed in terms of composite struc-ture and mechanical as well as the thermal/hygral properties of the two constituent phases.展开更多
