| Abstract: | An attempt has been made to assess the durability characteristics of modal textile and its blends with polyester and cotton by subjecting them to repeated laundering using a common detergent. It is found that they require gentle laundering and careful handling to retain their shape. An increase in modal (Md) content in modal/cotton (Md/C) blends results in a drop in the tensile strength of blended fabrics. This effect of Md is not so pronounced in modal/polyester (Md/PE) blends. Increased addition of modal to polyester or cotton decreases the tear strength of the blends in both dry and wet conditions, irrespective of their use in singles or ply yarns. In wet condition, the trend is maintained but there is a further loss in tear strength. |
