A STUDY ON COMFORT PROPERTIES OF VETIVER EXTRACT TREATED AND UNTREATED FABRIC

Abstract

In this endeavor, the comfort properties of plain woven cotton fabric and vetiver extract coated cotton fabric were analyzed and compared. The comfort properties such as thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and water vapor permeability, air permeability, wicking and wetting properties were found for both fabrics. The results shown that both the fabrics have minor difference in values, that is the vetiver extract coated fabric has more comfort properties than the plain cotton fabric.
