Style and wearing properties of PTT /spun silk blended fabrics

In order to integrate the shape memory property of PTT with the excellent wearability of silk,this paper used silk spinning technology to manufacture PTT /spun silk blended yarns with a blending ratio of 50 /50,used them as warp and weft and wove 5 kinds of PTT /spun silk blended fabrics.In addition,another 3 kinds of pure spun silk fabric with the same specifications were woven as well.The handle,drape,shape preservation(wrinkle and tensile resilience),permeability(air and moisture) and pilling resistance of all the 8 kinds fabrics were tested,and a comparison was made of the fabric style and wearing properties between the pure spun silk fabrics and PTT /spun silk blended fabrics.The results shows that when compared with pure spun silk fabrics,PTT /spun silk blended fabrics have better wrinkle and tensile resilience,softness and drape,but slightly poorer smoothness,permeability and pilling resistance.
