Effect of bio-polishing process on physical properties of viscone and different cotton knitted fabrics

Abstract

In this study the effects of enzymatic process for fuzz reduction on pilling, strength, weight loss and colour differences of fabrics were investigated. For this aim ribs fabrics, which were knitted using cotton-viscone and 100% cotton, combed, carded and open-end yarns spun by different spinning system, were used. These types of studies carried out with small-scale samples at the laboratories conditions have not exactly reflected the facts. For this reason all the phases of this study were done especially under the common working conditions prevailing in industry.
