Abstract

Proper selection of socks textiles sliding against indoor floor materials can avoid slip accidents. The present work discusses the measurements of friction coefficient displayed by foot wearing socks slid against different types of floors under dry sliding condition. The floor materials are parquet, cement, marble and ceramic, while the socks textiles are wool, polyacrylonitrile, cotton, polyester, spandex, silk and polyamide.
 
The experiments showed that careful selection of textiles used in fabrics of foot wearing socks should be considered. This selection depends mainly on the indoor floor materials. The results revealed that, socks sliding against cement floor experienced relatively higher friction coefficient than that observed for parquet. The highest friction values were displayed by polyacrylonitrile, spandex, wool, cotton and polyamide. Polyacrylonitrile displayed the highest values of friction coefficient when slid against parquet floor, whilenatural wool gave the lowest friction values. Polyamide showed the same trend observed for wool, while silk and spandex gave relatively higher friction.  Sliding against marble floor showed relatively lower friction values than observed for parquet and cement floors. Polyacrylonitrile, wool and polyamide showed higher friction than that recorded for cotton, polyester spandex and silk. Ceramic floor showed relatively higher friction values than that observed for marble and lower than given by cement and parquet. The difference in the friction values increases the necessity to carefully select the materials of the socks textiles for use in indoor walking to avoid slip accidents.
