  Viscoelastic Behavior and Wrinkle Formation in Cotton- Polyester Garments: A Data-Driven Approach for Textile Care

  By Patil Naomi Sachin, Vrishti Garg, Manoj Soni, Khushi Kumari, Aliza

  Abstract: This study investigates the wrinkle behavior of cotton-polyester blended fabrics by analyzing data from over 1,200 store-handled garments. Integrating concepts from polymer chemistry and computer vision, it aims to establish a smart textile care framework based on fiber-specific wrinkle characteristics. The research identifies how cotton’s hydrophilic and non-elastic structure results in increased wrinkling, while polyester’s thermoplastic and crystalline properties enhance wrinkle resistance. Elastomeric fibers like Lycra contribute to wrinkle recovery …
