Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been clarified that the shrinkage of fabrics were affected by their texture and yarn structure with shrinkage of biodegradable poly(lactic acid)(PLA) fiber fabrics using mixtures of good and poor solvents. Furthermore, has been suggested that the rate of the initial biological decomposition of the shrunken fabrics were higher than unshrunken.
It has been able to give added value of an unevenness pattern and improving biodegradability by using new technique of textile production that used the good-poor solvents mixtures method together with traditional dyeing technique. Therefore, has been proposed that as a new usefulness of clothing for PLA fabrics.
