Abstract
Shrinkage behavior of woven fabrics composed of PET drawn yarns manufactured under different pre-heat treatment conditions of practical fabrication processes was studied. The shrinkage characteristics of woven fabrics were determined by the weaving density as well as by the shrinkage level of yarn remaining, and these parameters predominantly affected the shrinkage characteristics of woven fabric in the low temperature range of 80~9$0^{\circ}C$. The crystallinity of drawn yarns with different shrinkage ratios increased in the progress of the fabrication process up to a constant level, however changes in the dye adsorption with different fabrication and finishing process could not be observed.
