Abstract

This study investigates the multifunctional properties of woven fabrics composed of varying blend ratios of cotton, flax, modal, bamboo, and lyocell fibers, focusing on their impact on upholstery fabrics. The research assesses the K/S colorfastness, color fastness to washing, color fastness to rubbing, and pH levels of these woven fabrics made from different combinations of the aforementioned yarns. Standardized testing methods were employed, and the results were statistically analyzed and compared across different fabric compositions.
The study revealed that the inclusion of lyocell yarns significantly enhanced the color fastness properties of upholstery fabrics. The effectiveness of fabric colorfastness was observed to be influenced by the ratios of weft yarn fiber content and specific fabric properties. Furthermore, these effects were closely linked to the structural characteristics of lyocell, including its composition and cross-sectional properties.
