PDF The Influence of Water Absorption Characteristics of Clothing Materials for Human Humid Sense

【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.15 Vol.15

 Water absorption and dryness characteristics of cotton fabrics were measured.
 Using these measured values, sensory test on soaking by six female subjects was evaluated with prepared five kinds of moist or wet cotton fabrics at seven spots on the body.
 Regression equations were calculated the value of sensory evalua-tion on soaking and the weight of moist or wet fabrics.
 The results are summarized as follows ;
 1) Each spot on the body has the different intensity of soaking sensation.
 2) Hand has the highest intensity of soaking sensation.
 3) At lower air temperature experimental condition the value of soaking sensation has increased.
