Abrasion resistant high performance textiles

There is no question that the bane of textile chemists in the area of cross-linking for smooth-dry performance is the loss of abrasion resistance. This has been a continuing problem when durable press is pushed to high levels of performance. Numerous approaches to this problem have been explored (32). However, the simplest solution has been to blend cotton with synthetic fibers. A 50—50 cotton—polyester fabric can have exceUent smooth-dry performance and yet be able to endure numerous launderings. [Pg.443]

Nylon, beside its important utility as premium fiber in the textile industry, also serves as an engineering polymer due to its unique properties of rigidity and toughness, low friction coefficient (including self lubrication), high resistance to abrasion and fatigue, supreme chemical resistance (including fire retardancy), as well as excellent thermal and electrical performance. [Pg.169]
