  • Simulation of accelerated ageing of polyester fabric [Elektronski vir]
    Dekanić, Tihana ...
    Human uncontrolled and careless habits and activities have disturbed the balance of the Earth's life cycle. Due to their effort to use natural resources as much as possible, humans have directly ... affected all the actors who live here, so that ecology has become an imperative today. Since the biggest polluters are factories in general, it can be stated that the textile industry is one of them. The increasing use of synthetic fibers in the production of textiles has led to some improvements in the form of mechanical, aesthetic and functional properties of the material. However, consumerism, the development of fast fashion, the rapid changes of fashion trends, irrational behavior and population growth have led to increased production of textiles based on synthetic fibers. Over the years, this has led to a slow accumulation of microfibers in the environment. Based on long-term test procedures under real conditions and with the aim of accelerating simulation, a standard polyester fabric is subjected to an artificial ageing process in this paper. By analyzing and characterizing the surface of the standard and the artificially aged fabric, and by instrumentally testing the tactile and mechanical properties, an attempt is made to gain insight into the behavior of the polyester fabric as a result of the applied modification. The results show that artificial ageing significantly affects the properties of polyester fabric, with a marked decrease in strength.
