Abstract: In this work, theHigh performance &colour strength Behaviourof bamboo & polyester woven fabrics have been studied in relation to weave and % of component fibers in the blends. The objective was to determine the influence of fabric factors such as weave and the constituent fiberscharacteristics on the fabric properties such as anti-bacterial activity, ultra-violet protection ability, dye take up and capillarity havebeen studied. The experimental results show that 2/30s bamboo in warp way of twill woven fabric exhibits higher anti-bacterial activity, ultra-violet protection ability , dye take up and capillaritywhen compared to other samples

Keywords: high performance, colour strength, weave type, % component fibres, anti-bacterial activity, ultra-violet protection ability and dye take up.
