日本のKESで確立した織物の風合いの客観的評価システムは, 国際的に広く認められた風合い評価方法である。ただ, 新しいアパレル材料が絶えず開発されている今日の時代に, 日本の紡績専門家のみを対象とした評価基準をもってしては, 台湾と日本の紡績界の間では, 織物の風合いに対する認識に差異が生じることは避けがたい。そこで, 本研究においては, 回帰法を利用し, 台湾と日本の織物の全体的風合いの評価の換算公式を建立することに成功した。これにより, 両国の紡績界で男用スーツ, 男用ジャケット, 男用スラックス, 婦人用スーツ, 婦人用薄地ドレス, 男用ドレスシャツ等の織物について, 一致した風合いの評価を持つ事ができるようになった。

  Examination was made of the effects of detergent builders with metal removal capacity on cotton fabrics dyed with direct copper complex dyes, with particular attention to color change and fastness that would result from washing. The dyed fabrics were washed by LAS and a combination of builders (STPP and Zeolite) in distilled and hard water (4, 10, 20° DH), and also by commercial detergent. Color differences and amounts of copper on the dyed fabrics before and after washing were examined and measured. The fastness color scale was established based an equation derived from analysis of CIELAB color differences.

  The amounts of copper on premetallized dyed fabrics were found to decrease by washing with the detergent builders, but change in dyed fabric color was only slight. Color change arising from aftertreatment dye showed small color fastness, due to decrease in the amounts of copper on the dyed fabrics. When calcium was present in the washing water, detergent builders appeared to lessen the capacity for removal of copper from dyed fabrics by taking away the calcium ions present in the water prior to deposition on the fabrics.
