Outline of Final Research Achievements

For evaluating the visual and tactile perception of fabric, the characterization method was developed. A traditional type of Japanese textile were used such as the Nishijin textiles of Kyoto　and silk, and cotton crepe (Chirimen, Chijimi). These fabrics were used as making a striking tactile and visual impression to the consumers. Related to the visual perception of fabric, the characterization method was developed by using a goniospectrophotometric system while the fabrics were rotated.　The effect of glittering from gold yarn in the fabrics was also detected. For the tactile perception of fabric, the suitable silhouette and handle design of silk and cotton chirimen was presented for the new apparel ,based on the unique mechanical properties. The effect of twist on tensile properties at various relative humidity was also observed at high humidity condition.
