“…[14] showed that knitted fabrics finished with nano silicone softeners had poor abrasion properties but improved pilling performance. Busiliene et al [15] studied the influence of the type of fibers and chemical softeners on the tendency of fuzzing and pilling of plain and plated jersey structure knitted fabrics.…”

Silicone softeners make fabric soft, brilliant, greasy and more elastic, resulting is acceptable handle. In this research work, the effect of using different silicone softeners on pilling resistance and on some physical and mechanical properties of knitted fabrics was evaluated. Industrially applied silicone softeners of three different types (macro, semi-micro, micro) were used on fabrics knitted from different fiber materials (Egyptian cotton, Tencel LF, Tencel STD, bamboo, Modal and Micro-modal). The influence of using different silicone softeners on fabric pilling resistance, seam hole, air permeability, color strength, fastness to rubbing in wet and dry states and fastness to washing was investigated. Results have shown that the pilling performance of micro-modal fabrics finished with micro silicone is better than those finished with macro silicone. The higher number of fibers per cross-section for the micro modal yarns creates weak bonds between micromodal fibers and macro silicone particles. The macro silicone fabric has the greatest air permeability, while the micro silicone reduces the porosity of the yarn and increases air resistance. The macro silicone softener method has more fastness to color than the other finishing methods investigated.

Few researchers have attempted to model the pilling behaviour of textile fabrics [10,11], and few have also evaluated the pilling behaviour of fabrics objectively using different methods [12][13][14][15][16].…”

In this work, the pilling behaviour of polyester blended fabrics was studied and analysed statistically. Two different groups of blends were selected, namely polyester/cotton (P/C) and polyester/viscose blends (P/V). All the fabrics were assessed for pilling performance using ICI pill box, and two-way ANOVA was conducted to analyse the effect of the number of revolutions and type of fibres on the pilling behaviour of the fabrics. The analysis was further narrowed down by conducting a series of ANOVA, by segregating the number of revolutions into two stages and blend proportions into three stages for group I fabrics. Similarly for group II fabrics, both the, number of revolutions and blend proportions were segregated into two stages each. It was found that the type of component fibre used to produce the fabric loses its significance as the number of revolutions increases.

Finishes bring an alteration to the physical and comfort properties of the textiles. That’s why various finishes are used to impart various functionalities to the fabric surface. However, it may also affect some properties. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of various finishes on pilling, mass per unit area, bursting strength, and wicking behavior of the polyester weft-knitted jersey fabric. Herein, 100% spun polyester weft-knitted plain jersey fabric was exposed to different finish treatments to check their effect on the some physical and comfort properties of the fabric like mass per unit area, pilling behavior, bursting strength, and wicking properties of the weft-knitted jersey fabric. The fabric used was knit from 24/1, 100% spun polyester yarn on the single knit circular knitting machine. The developed fabric was washed on Fong machine. Finishes are applied on fabric by “Monofort Stanter” machine. The resultant fabric was characterized by random tumble pilling tester, bursting strength tester, and wicking tester to analyze their pilling grade, bursting strength, and wicking behavior respectively. A significant increase has been found in wicking behavior, mass per unit area, and bursting strength of the fabric after finishing treatments. Moreover, the wicking finish shows the highest reduction in pilling grade from 3.5 to 2.5. Significant improvement has been observed in bursting strength by all finish’s treatment. However, wicking finish treatment results in the highest increase in bursting strength of 4.2%. Significant improvement has been observed in the vertical wicking speed of all treatment except silicon finish which significantly reduces vertical wicking rate. However, the wicking finish (Recipe E) shows the highest increase in wicking rate by 13.75 times as compared to grey fabric.
