Analysis of morphology,luminescent properties and illuminating durability of photoluminescent fibre

This study researched morphology,surface structures,tensile properties and variations in luminance intensity and decay characteristics of yarn and knitted fabric samples containing photoluminescent materials. the luminescent yarn and fabrics were exposed to four different light sources (uv,tl84,d65 and f) at 1 and 5 minutes,and dependence of initial luminance intensity values and decaying with time of the samples on light source type for exposing,activation time,form and weight of the samples were measured. in the study,the influence of rubbing and washing effects met during daily usage or textile processes on afterglowing were also analysed.
