Development of fabric style and thermal-moisture comprehensive evaluation system
People have five senses,namely vision,touch,hearing,smell and taste.In real life,when consumers choose clothing,the senses that express the fabric style are mainly visual,tactile and auditory senses,which is a process of multi-sensory integration.However,the evaluation of fabric style is mostly tactile style,that is,hand feeling.The thermal-moisture comfort of fabrics depends on the permeability,hygroscopicity and thermal conductivity of the fabric.Fabric style and thermal-moisture evaluation are two important aspects of fabric quality evaluation.When selecting fabrics,in addition to considering the style,people should pay attention to the characteristics related to thermal-moisture comfort such as air permeability and moisture absorption of fabrics,so as to ensure that fabrics suitable for specific environments and needs are obtained.The fabric style and thermal-moisture comfort affect each other and restrict each other,which need to be considered comprehensively.To comprehensively evaluate the fabric style and thermal-moisture comfort,a comprehensive evaluation system of fabric style and thermal-moisture comfort was designed and developed based on the test principle of CHES-FY textile hand feeling evaluation instrument.Combining the multi-sensory style of the fabric and the combination of fabric style and thermal-moisture comfort evaluation,a comprehensive evaluation system of fabric style and thermal-moisture was developed to evaluate the fabric.Five fabrics with obvious differences were selected and tested on standard instruments such as Datacolor 850 desktop spectrophotometer,YG461G automatic air permeability meter,YG606E textile thermal resistance tester,YG601H computer fabric moisture permeability meter,and KES-F7 ⅡB contact cold and warm feeling tester,and compared with the test results of fabric style and thermal-moisture comprehensive evaluation system.The results show that the fabric style and thermal-moisture comprehensive evaluation system can not only test the multi-sensory style of textiles,but also combine the three senses of vision,touch and hearing,provide a variety of combination information,and enhance the usability of the instrument.The structural characteristics of textiles can also be obtained,and a number of thermal and moisture indexes between different fabrics can be simply tested and compared.Compared with the basic thermal and moisture comfort test results,it is found that the difference between fabrics can be well reflected,which provides a new idea for the design of fabric evaluation instruments.
