This paper surveys the physical properties of sheath/core nylon/PET high hollow composites filaments and its fabrics according to the various elution conditions such as concentration of elution, eluted time and eluted temperature. For this purpose, sheath/core nylon/PET filament was texturized and four kinds of fabric specimens were woven with different warp and weft densities. These grey fabrics were eluted with two kinds of concentrations of NaOH (30g/l, 40g/l), three kinds of eluted temperatures ) and two kinds of eluted times (60min, l20min). The elution characteristics of these specimens were investigated and discussed with different elution conditions. In addition, the mechanical properties such as extensibility, bending rigidity, shear modulus and compressional work of these specimens aceording to the elution conditions were analysed and summarized with cross-sectional shapes of eluted filaments measured by SEM.
