This paper examines how the perception of the texture of fabrics for blouse is related to its image. By using SD method, visual ratings of texture and image of thirty-six kinds of white fabrics were conducted by one hundred and six female students. The ratings were then correlation analysized and factor analysized. The results are as follows :
1. A glossy look of texture was related to urbane, elegant and feminine images, a transparent look to a novel image, and a natural look to rural, sporty and mannish images.
2. Light, thin, and rough fabrics are favored, and this result coincides with the present fashion trend.
3. Factor analysis based on the mean ratings of texture and image extracted two factors : “thickness”and “surface roughness” for the texture and “fashionability”and “elegance”for the image.
4.The results of the correlation analysis, based on the factor scores of texture and image mentioned above, showed that “thickness” was closely related to “fashionability” and “surface roughness” to “elegance”.

The applicability of various fibrous wastes such as textile fabrics, non-woven fabrics and fishing net as insulating material in the enclosure filled with a liquid containing fibrous wastes was investigated. The heat transfer rates were measured in the enclosure bounded by vertical isothermal walls at different temperatures and filled with the waste and pure water.The polyester fiber was used for the experiments as a representative synthetic fiber. The void ratio in the enclosure with fibrous waste was varied in the wide range. The permeability of fibrous wastes was also measured to discuss the heat transfer rate in detail. It was clarified that the configuration of the fibrous waste affected largely on the heat transfer rate.Namely, the sheet-type waste such as non-woven fabrics suppressed the heat transfer rate largely in comparison with the case of cord-type waste such as fishing net under the condition of constant void ratio. Moreover, it was cleared that the configuration of the fibrous wastes affected largely on the permeability of the wastes and the heat transfer rate largely depended on the permeability of fibrous wastes.
The results obtained in this paper shows promise for contributing to the establishment of recycling system for wastes of various synthetic fabrics.
