The Investigation of Tensile and Bending Properties of Meta-Aramid/Wool Blended Woven Fabric

This study aimed to investigate tensile and bending properties of woven fabrics made from meta-aramid and wool yarns with different blend ratios. For this purpose, twenty eight woven fabrics were manufactured using Nm 60/1 and Nm 60/2 meta-aramid and Nm 60/1 and Nm 60/2 wool yarns with different blend ratios. The tensile properties, bursting strength and bending rigidity of woven fabrics which we manufactured were tested according to the standards and the results obtained were assessed by means of the statistical analysis program. The results of this study show that the breaking force and bursting strength and bending rigidity of woven fabrics increases with the increase of the aramid contents of the fabrics. Optimum breaking force, bursting strength and bending rigidity values were obtained from the fabrics consisting of 50/50 meta-aramid/wool and 67/33 meta-aramid-wool
