Huang Hua, P. Radhakrishnaiah, Anand Kanchagar, Nolan Etters, and A.P.S. Sawhney

ABSTRACT

The tactile properties and thermal comfort characteristics of a plain woven cotton fabric were compared. Fabric treatments representing greige state, conventional caustic scouring, and protease scouring were measured. Figures 1-5 compare the measured tactile properties of the fabrics. Figures 6 & 7 compare the air permeability and thermal energy dissipation characteristics of the same fabrics. The tactile characteristics were measured using the Kawabata equipment.
