I chose twentynine (29) kinds of wool fabrics produced in Korea, and investigated the physical properties, such as, blending percentage, count, twist, shrinkage,design, cloth width, thickness, weight per square meters, density, porosity, air permiablity, moisture, strength & elongation, and breking strength & aelongation.
The results of this research can be summarized as follows:
1. The strength of wool fabrics is in the proportion to the strenght od materials. In other words, fabrics that contain a large percentage of terylene or nylon have more strenght.
2. The strenght of wool fabrics is in inverse proportion to the yarn count.
3. The strenght of wool fabrics increase until twist has a limit, but decrease if it passes the limit.
4. The strenght of short floating fabrics (fabrics which have a large degree of interlacing) have more strength than long floating fabrics.
5. The stren of wool fabrics is in proportion to the shrinkage because shrinkage is in proprtion to the degree of interlacing.
6. The cloth width does not act upon the strength of the fabrics.
7. The strength of wool fabrics is in proprtion to the thickness of the fabrics.
8. The strength of wool fabrics is generally in proportion to the weight per square meters.
9. The strength of wool fabrics is, as a rule, in proportion to the yarn density.
10. It is considered that fabrics which contain little porosity have more strength than fabrics which contain much porosity, but there is very little difference between the two.
11. The fabrics which contain little air permiability have more strength.
12. The relation between the strength and the moisture is changed by the fiber. In other words, when wool, S.F. and exlan get wet the strength decreases and terylene does not change.
13. The strength & elongation of wool fabrics are generally in proportion to the breaking strength & elongation.
