Fabric fuzzing and pilling experimentThe principle is to simulate the friction effect that fabrics experience in actual use, causing the fibers on the surface of the fabric to break and become fuzzy, and further entangle into balls, in order to evaluate their anti fuzzing and pilling performance. The specific analysis is as follows:
Experimental Procedure
Friction effect: Under the action of friction, the surface fibers of the fabric are affected by mechanical force and begin to break or loosen.
Hair raising stage: After fibers break or loosen, hairiness is formed, which protrudes from the surface of the fabric.
Ball raising stage: As friction continues, the feathers become entangled with each other, forming a small ball like structure, known as a ball.
Objective of the experiment
By quantitatively evaluating the degree of fuzzing and pilling of fabrics during friction, their anti fuzzing and pilling performance can be determined. This is of great significance for predicting the durability and appearance retention of fabrics in actual wear or use.
Experimental Method
Circular trajectory method: The sample rubs against a nylon brush or abrasive on a circular trajectory to simulate local wear during daily wear.
Martindale method: The sample is rubbed against the same fabric or wool abrasive on a circular Lissajous trajectory to simulate long-term wear.
Rolling box method: The sample is placed on a polyurethane tube and randomly flipped inside a wooden box lined with cork to simulate friction between fabrics.
Random rolling method: The sample is randomly rolled and rubbed in a cylindrical experimental chamber lined with cork and filled with a small amount of gray short cotton.
Experimental Evaluation
Under the specified lighting conditions, the friction treated sample is compared with the standard sample, and the pilling level is evaluated according to a certain rating standard (such as a 5-level system, with level 5 being the best and level 1 being the worst).
