2B4_0680_ SURFACE PROFILE AND FRICTIONAL PROPERTIES OF DENIM FABRICS

---

Abstract

Several parameters might contribute to the tactile comfort of a fabric in a different way and rate, therefore which parameter would stand out will be mostly determined by fabric type and end use. In this study, the effect of weaving parameters and three different washing processes on surface characteristics of denim fabrics was investigated. Accordingly, several surface profile parameters and fabric-to-skin friction coefficients of 24 custom production and 15 commercial denim fabrics were determined by objective measurements, meanwhile fabric surfaces were investigated by photomicrographs.

Keywords: Denim fabrics, surface profile parameters, frictional properties
