Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the distribution of mechanical and thermal properties of 14 sorts of tencel fabrics. Three kinds of cellulosic fabrics such as cotton 100%, cotton/tencel 50/50% and rayon 100% were used to compare with tencel fabrics. Furthermore, for the comparison of thermal properties, these fabrics were repeatedly washed 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 times respectively. The mechanical properties were measured by the KES-FB system and Thereto Labo II type was employed to measure the thermal properties of warmth retaining and contact warm/cool feeling($q_{max}$). The experimental results were analysed statistically to relate the mechanical and thermal properties. Tencel showed sufficient ability to recover from bending deformation and drapability comparing with other cellulosic fabrics and had a silhouette which goes along with the body.
