| Abstract: | Nineteen fabric samples of three different varieties such as dupion, soft
and taffeta silk have been produced and tested for stretch and growth
properties in both dry and wet conditions. It is observed that stretch and
growth properties of silk fabrics are correlated with cover factor, fabric
thickness, fabric warp crimp and twist significantly. The increase in stretch
and growth properties of fabric in wet condition may be due to more swelling
and relaxation of fibre structure and also attributed to breaking of hydrogen
bond chain links in protein fibre. |
