Determination of Fiber Content of Blended Fabrics by Using Infrared Spectrum Technique

Part 2 : On the Blended Fabrics of Cellulosic Fibers

Abstract

As described in part 1, an infrared spectrum technique is interesting as simple method for determination of the fiber content of blended fabrics. This method was investi gated for blended fabrics of cellulosic fibers. The samples examined here were cotton/polyester, rayon/ployester, cotton/acrylic, cotton/vinylon, cotton/polypropylene, cotton/nylon6 and rayon/nylon6 blended fabrics.
Thus, this method was recognized to be very useful for the determination of the fiber content of blended fabrics in the above combinations, as well as wool fabrics.
