Özet

Flocked fabrics are particularly used in outwear and home upholstery since they are comfortable and soft. In this study, Martindale abrasion and token rubbing properties of the flocked fabrics were investigated and characterized. It was observed that the surface abrasion properties of the flocked fabrics varied depending on the flock fiber density and flock fiber length. The abrasion resistance of flocked fabrics was increased by increasing flock fiber length and decreasing flock fiber density. The surface rubbing properties of flocked fabrics showed similar tendencies with the abrasion properties. However, the flocked fabrics showed more resistance to rubbing in dry form than wet form. These results were in agreement with the optical microscope images.
