Abstract: | The purpose of the research was to examine the effect of three different levels of enzyme treatment on the physical characteristics
and the end-use suitability of the lyocell fabrics made with four different types of commercial wood pulp. The appropriate
enzyme concentration for obtaining an optimum as well as consistent physical characteristics and fabric hand trait was 3 g/l for the concentration levels tested in the present investigation. Weight loss was more affected by higher enzyme concentration
than other physical properties. H2 was least affected by enzyme treatment for all three physical properties and fabric hand.
5 g/l concentration exhibited little difference from 3 g/l in the physical characteristics, whereas the KES-FB values indicated a significant loss of fabric hand in most PHVs with
the 5 g/l concentration level. Among different garment parameters, all four fabric types were relatively inappropriate for the men’s
slacks (MS) fabric due to the lower hand value of koshi required by the MS parameter. However, despite the relatively low
koshi values, high fukurami values required for men’s dress shirt (MWDS) resulted in the highest THV among the four garment
parmeters. The four fabric types, which represent the usage of four different wood pulps, in general seem to exhibit a higher
applicability to women’s winter thin dress (WWTD) than women’s winter suit (WWS) garment parameter. |
