| Popis: | Linen fibers exhibit good moisture management properties and can effectively conduct heat. However, there are limited studies on the sensorial comfort properties of linen knitted fabrics. In this study, the sensorial comfort properties of optical bleached, different enzyme washed and softened 100% cotton, 50% cotton/50% linen, and 100% linen fabrics were investigated using the Kawabata KES-FB evaluation system. The results showed that the tensile resilience and compression linearity values of the 100% linen fabrics were higher than those of other fabrics. The compression energy and compressional resilience of the 50% cotton- 50% linen fabrics were higher than those of the other fabrics. The surface friction value of 100% linen fabrics can be improved by cellulase enzyme treatment. Pectinase enzyme treated fabrics showed higher smoothness values than cellulase enzyme treated 100% linen fabrics. |
