“…As the fabric hand is closely related to consumer demand, many studies have investigated definitions and assessments of this concept (Barker & Scheininger, 1982;Ellis, & Garnsworthy, 1980;Kawabata, 1980;Vaughan & Kim, 1975;Winakor et al, 1980;Wrobel & Lanhenhove, 2012), as well as preferences for certain fabrics. Various analysis methods and tools have been developed to evaluate the fabric hand and predict consumer needs by means of the related physical and mechanical properties of the material (Jhanji et al, 2016;Joen et al, 2010;Khanna et al, 2015;Kwon, 2010;Philippe et al, 2004;Roh & Ryu, 2007;Roh et al, 2013;Strazdienė et al, 2003).…”

: Sensory attributes and preferences that contribute to consumer satisfaction with artificial leather were measured by subjective evaluation, and subjective hand and preferences were analyzed in relation to its use. Using tactile and visual senses, 50 experts in fashion and textile industry evaluated leathers classified into two categories, suede and polyurethane coated, according to different manufacturing methods. They answered questions on subjective hand and preferences of different artificial leathers of various fashion items (jackets, purses, bags, shoes, boots, furniture, etc.), using specific adjectives to describe the hand properties. As a result, it was found that the subjective hand properties of artificial leathers were related to 'Thickness', 'Fullness/softness', 'Surface contour', 'Stickiness', and 'Elasticity'. The leather type from different manufacturing methods influenced their perceived hand and preferences relating to use. By use, different hands were preferred. The preferences for jackets and furniture of suede type leathers were related to their surface properties, whereas the preferences for items of the other type of leathers were associated with their resilience. On the other hand, in the case of polyurethane coated leathers, the preferences for jackets were significantly affected by their thickness, while those for the other items were influenced by their resilience and surface properties.

textile surface in a process that depends mainly on ionic nature of textile surface hydrophilicity and also softener molecules. It is reported that small softener molecules has the ability to penetrate fiber materials resulting in internal plasticization for the fiber material through formation of polymer that reduces its glass transition temperature. The physical positioning of these softener molecules on textile surfaces is crucial. It is dependent s on the hydrophilic character of the surface and ionic nature of softener molecules. Cationic softeners, for instance, are arranged so that the positively charged groups are directed towards partially negatively charges of the fiber material. This orientation offers maximum softness and lubrication properties for the fabric materials [4,5]. Softeners have been reported to produce the C URRENT research was undertaken to develop a new finishing formulation using titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 ) homogenously suspended in mixture of cationic softener and herbal oil. Its utilization as multifunctional finishing formulation to cotton based fabrics was investigated. The properties of the treated fabrics were monitored and compared with the untreated one. These properties were include the effect of cationic softener concentration, form of TiO 2 nano particles (mixture of rutile and anatase), type of cotton fabrics (bleached or pre-carboxymethylated) and presence of herbal oil on the properties of the treated cotton fabrics were monitored. Moreover, stability of TiO 2 nanoparticles in such finishing formulation was also determined. The effect of using eco-friendly herbal oil within the same finishing formulation on the antibacterial activities of the treated fabric was also evaluated.The treated fabrics were monitored for UV-protection, self-cleaning and antibacterial properties. Morphology and structure of TiO 2 nanoparticles were characterized using XRD and TEM,. The antibacterial activities of the treated fabrics were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) strains and Escherichia coli (gram-negative), the results show significant antibacterial effect mainly against Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the treated fabrics showed enhanced UV protection and self-cleaning properties with improving softness properties.

Single-layered warp knitted fabrics were produced by the 60D/36F (containing 36 filaments) polyester yarn with differential shrinkage (DS) property in this study. Due to the differential shrinkage property, the fabric becomes curly and bulkier, simulating cotton fabric in terms of its appearance and fabric handle. The performance and appearance of these DS polyester warp knitted fabrics were evaluated objectively and subjectively. The testing results demonstrated that the DS polyester warp knitted fabric had better abrasion property, worse pilling resistance due to the mechanical property of polyester yarn when compared with 100% cotton warp knitted fabric. Meanwhile, lower water vapour permeability and air resistance were found for DS polyester warp knitted fabric resulting from the dense structure of yarn shrinkage after heat-moisture treatment. Besides, the fabric handle was evaluated by Kawabata evaluation system and subject to trial under dry and wet fabric condition. DS polyester warp knitted fabrics provide better recovery under low stress mechanical pressure. The subjective evaluation result shows that the warp knitted fabrics made of DS polyester had similar handle against cotton warp knitted fabric in terms of prickle, smooth, comfort and dry feeling in both dry and wet testing conditions.
