... in the structure of the treated acrylic fabrics. Several physical and functional utility characteristics were studied such as stiffness, crease recovery, tensile strength and elongation, pilling, air permeability, absorbency and static electricity. Findings Polyacrylonitrile is one of the man-made materials...

...B.K. Behera; J.P. Singh The objective of this research paper is to investigate the important factors that contribute to the absorbency characteristics of terry fabric in order to produce highly absorbent terry towels by using suitable raw materials and changing the fabric constructional parameters...

... transport along the thickness is measured in terms of absorbency by using a gravimetric absorbency tester. It has been observed that the fabric structure, filament cross sectional shape and filament denier have substantial influence on liquid water transport.It is seen that with an increase in the fibre...
