Water content dependency on the contact area of fabric is considered to be closely related with aspects of comfort, which reflecting many factors, such as tensional or oppressive property of moist fabrics, moist feels, and so on. In this study, the effect of moisture on the contact area of fabrics was estimated by the derived method using activated carbon and the following results were obtained.
(1) The contact area of fabrics (
Sfb) increased as the moisture regain of fabrics (
W1) increased, and
Sfb could be expressed as a function of
W1 in the characteristic region of
W1 as follows; where
k1 and
k2 were constants determined by variety of fabrics and so on.
(2) The above
Sfb also increased with increasing water content per unit are of fabrics, which contact with the derived skin model, (
W2), and
Sfb could be expressed as a function of
W2 within the characteristic region of
W2 as follows; where
k′
1,
k′
2 and
k′
3 were constants determined by variety of fabrics and so on.
