Influence of pH on hygral expansion, relaxation shrinkage and extensibility of wool fabric

Analyzing the thermal and hygral behavior of wool and its impact on fabric dimensional stability for wool processing and garment manufacturing

“…5 Recent decades have seen much attention paid to the effect of the textile manufacturing process and domestic garment laundering on fabric dimensional stability. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] During these processes, fabric dimensional properties are largely affected by moisture content and temperature. Attention has also been extended from wool [6][7][8] to other textile materials, such as cotton, [9][10][11] linen, 12 silk 13 and polyester.…”
