Studies on friction in cotton textiles: Part II—A study on the relationship between physical properties and frictional characteristics of chemically treated cotton fabrics

Abstract

The present study aims at investigating the role of various fabric attributes on fabric friction and the effect of chemical modifications/treatments given to the fabric on the frictional behaviour of fabrics. Results indicate that the relative movement of one fabric over the other results in varied frictional behaviour depending upon their dimensional direction. Chemical modifications done on the fabric alter the surface characteristics of the fabric and accordingly influence the fabric’s frictional behaviour.
