Описание The comparative study of the Physico – mechanical properties of selected printed fabrics were made. The results obtained showed that the locally produced fabrics exhibited comparably better end – use performance characteristics in terms of fabric weight per square meter, fabric flammability, and linear density. While the foreign fabrics are better in terms of Crease recovery, fabric handle, fabric sett, fabric shrinkage, and aesthetics. However, both the foreign and homemade fabrics exhibited similar characteristics in terms of abrasion resistance, tensile strength, air permeability, yarn crimp, fabric thickness, and colour fastness.It may therefore be concluded that considering envirnmental factors the locally produced fabrics are technically standared in terms of every day use and comfort.There is no basis in the choice preference of foreign fabrics in Nigeria atleast from technical point of view. |
