抄録

The purpose of this study is to clarify psychological structure of comfort sensation of underwear made of yarn blended with polypropylene (PP). As a result of wearing experiment, the fabric of one of the PP samples, which has low surface property, had a rough sensation even as a result of the sensory evaluation. The score of comfort sensation was also lowered and there was a bad sensation after exercise. In addition, as a result of multiple regression analysis to investigate the differences in impression evaluation of each sample, it was found that for the samples of PP blended yarn, the sensation caused by moisture-transport characteristics and air flow characteristics proved to affect the comfort sensation. In all of the samples, it was found that skin texture was important.
