Structure-property relationship of fibre, yarn and fabric with special reference to low-stress mechanical properties and hand value of fabric

摘要

An attempt has been made to review the work done so far in understanding the influence of wool fibre, yarn and fabric structures and their properties on low-stress mechanical properties and hand value of fabric. The role of finishing treatments and application of softeners on low-stress mechanical properties has also been reviewed. Finally, the need of establishing a vertical relationship between fibre and garment is suggested.
