21 cotton fabrics differing in structural properties were studied to determine their frictional properties. Parameters such as yarn type (combed or carded), yarn linear density, twist factor and fabric setting were all found to affect frictional properties. Issues surrounding friction generally in textile technology were discussed with the relative effects of low-force and high-force friction compared. The results of earlier studies were quoted. The experimental procedure was described. The 21 plain-knitted cotton fabrics were knitted in different settings using yarns with two different linear densities and three different twist factors and fabric mass and thickness ranges noted. The test apparatus was described and the method of measurement of the frictional properties of a fabric detailed. Frictional resistant of fabrics knitted by carded yarns was higher than those knitted by combed yarns. Fabric surface was also significant in affecting frictional properties. Other factors affecting frictional properties were summarised.
