Pilling

Yarn Hairiness: A Further Update

“…According to Ukponmwan and his co-workers [117], a higher level of hairiness may not always reflect a greater pilling tendency. However, in a particular fabric, through the removal of " an Yam Hariness: A Further Update protruding hairs by singeing, a significant reduction in the number of pills is possible.…”

“…Pilling is less with less-hairy yams [117]. The projecting loops of fibre causing the hairiness are very important because pilling is less with fewer projecting fibres.…”

Optimization of acid cellulose enzyme concentration to reduce pilling of bamboo fabric: An objective assessment approach

“…The pills are formed during wear and washing by the entanglement of loose fibers that protrude from the fabric surface, under the influence of the rubbing action [3]. Categorically, three common methods are employed for the pilling evaluation: subjective; objective; and descriptive.…”

Improving Functional Characteristics of Wool and Some Synthetic Fibres

“…The pills are formed during wear and washing by the entanglement of loose fibres present on the surface [27]. The application methods of antimicrobial agents and some of the most recent developments in antimicrobial treatments of textiles use various active agents such as silver, quaternary ammonium salts, polyhexamethylene biguanide, triclosan, chitosan, dyes and regenerable Nhalamine compounds and peroxyacids [33].…”

“…Pilling is undesirable property that affects handle and appearance of fabrics and a serious problem for textile industry [27]. Using Hexanediol or pentaerythritol to crosslink acrylic fibres that contain the methyl acryl ate group improved the pilling performance of acrylic fibres [30,31] Textiles have long been recognized as media to support the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.…”
