Abstract

   Recently, there has been an increase in demand for the use of plant fibers that combine the properties of comfort and functionality during use, and perhaps the most important of these modern plant fibers are bamboo and modal fibers, as these fibers are characterized by their high ability to provide a sense of physiological comfort, as well as their excellence in the properties of functional performance for traditional fibers like cotton.                                          
    In view of the natural and mechanical properties of these modern fibers that make them superior to those of traditional plant fibers, the research aims to take advantage of these modern materials and employ them in the production of bed sheets fabrics, given what these fabrics need in terms of having physiological comfort properties as well as retaining functional performance properties to it .                                                                                                               
    Where in this research six samples of bed sheet fabrics were produced using these modern materials and using simple textile structures, as well as three samples of sheets fabrics were produced using only cotton as control samples, and with simple textile structures, to compare the properties of the fabrics produced from those modern fibers with the properties of the fabrics produced from the raw cotton only in order to clarify the extent of the improvement in the functional performance resulting from the use of these modern fibers, as the results proved the extent of the clear improvement in the natural properties and the mechanics of bed sheets fabrics as a result of using these modern materials
