9. Tactile Feel of Washed Towels and Their Compression and Surface Properties.

Author

Abstract

The tactile evaluation was performed on 16 cotton towel samples that had been washed different numbers of times. Twenty-seven female and 24 male university students (20-24 years old) participated in the assessment. The surface and compression properties of fabrics were measured with the KES system. The tactile feels of softness and of smoothness were related to the geometrical roughness (SMD) and compression linearity (LC). The tactile feel was worse for washed towels with higher SMD and LC values. For washed towel fabrics, we found no significant correlation between the tactile feel and compression energy (WC). The results were related to the changes that occurred in the pile loop geometry during washing and caused matting of the pile. The changes were characterized by the ratio of ground fabric area observed in microscope images. To evaluate the initial resistance of the matted pile, we measured the frictional force (Ff) during movement of a friction contactor on the pile. The slope of the peak (S-FfP) was a useful indicator for investigating the tactile change in towel fabrics after washing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

25. Characterization of Fabrics using the Light Reflectance and the Surface Geometry Measurements.

Abstract

In order to characterize a fabric, the use of light reflectance from the surface of a fabric was attempted as well as the surface roughness (SMD obtained from the KES-F system) as an important parameter to describe the tactile sense of fabric smoothness. Light reflectance distribution was measured by using a gonio-spectrophotometric color measurement system. It was found that the reflectance measurement should be made not only at various illumination and viewing angles but also at various fabric rotating angles. The differences in the weave structures were reflected in the L* distribution patterns measured at various fabric rotating angles. The reflectance of fuzzy-surface fabrics were found to be constant at any measurement geometries, meaning a constant L* distribution pattern might be one of the characteristics for fuzzy fabrics.
