| Research Abstract |
To evaluate a nanofiber web, nonwovens for sanitary use, pile and blanket fabrics, the various devices to attach to a Kawabata Evaluation System(KES) were developed for surface, compression, tensile and heat transfer properties. Tensile tests of a poly-γ-glutamic acid nanofiber web containing oxazoline component polymer became possible under various humidity conditions as well as in water. The sensitivity of KES-G5s compression tester with a ball type indenter was improved and then the compression test including recovery process for a thin nanofiber webs was carried out. The subjective evaluation of materials was also performed to find the useful index parameters for the tactile comfort. The wetness of nonwoven was predicted by the maximum value of heat flux under the wet condition(qmax-wet). The resistance of piles measured by a KES-SE surface tester with a simple device was related to pile mobility when fingers move on furs or blankets. The developed KES system is valuable to obtain the useful indicators for the tactile comfort of textile materials.
