Lyocell, polyester and bamboo fibers for small scale industry workers uniform

摘要

Many employers nowadays are aware of their basic duty of care to provide suitable workwear to their employee. The workwear selected should be based on the nature of their work. The work on which this dissertation has been based is aimed at producing a garment for a worker involved in a workshop which will enhance the comfort characteristics as compared to the properties exhibited by normal polyester cotton blended uniforms. Lyocell, polyester and bamboo yarns were selected based on the survey conducted. This research was done by weaving a combination of the selected yarns i.e. lyocell-polyesterand lyocell-bamboo.Then the woven fabrics were subjected to the dyeing process. An effort has been made in this project to test and compare the various properties of the existing polyester-cotton fabric used in the industry with the 2 woven combinations of fabrics attempted. From this comparison the best combination for comfort properties is determined in polyester-lyocell combination. The performance of this fabric has been analyzed by subjective evaluation in various aspects of comfort.
