Appearance and Compression Property of Tufted Carpet Weaved by Wool Yarn Modifying Chlorination and Enzyme Treatment

Abstract

Appearance and compression property of tufted wool carpet modified by chlorination and enzyme treatment was examined. Compression and recovery of tufted carpet modified by DCCA and enzyme treatment was max value. Entropy and contrast from YCbCr image of tufted carpet image modified by chlorination and enzyme treatment was minimum. When wool yarn was modified by both chlorination and enzyme treatment, the change of feature after enzyme treatment was different from DCCA or sodium hypochlorite. Enzymatic treatment after chlorination in conc. is effective in improving the appearance and compression property of tufted wool carpet.
