Abstract

Silk/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend fabric as a new textile material must be subjected to heat setting treatment. Heat setting can increase the dimensional stability of the fabric, remove the wrinkle marks of the fabric formed in earlier processing, and fix the fabric width, but it also can cause the changes in the structures and properties of the fibers. In this work, the effects of heat setting at different temperatures on the whiteness, tensile strength, dyeability, crystalline structure and thermal properties of silk/PLA fabric were discussed. It was found that 130 oC was a safe heat setting temperature in terms of tensile strength loss, whiteness, fiber degradation, and heat setting efficiency. High temperature heat setting induced the great degradation of PLA fiber, the decrease in the whiteness of the fabric, and the high tensile strength loss of the fabric.
