The fragrance retention of different fabrics wasquantitatively evaluated by Electronic Nose (e-nose) at different time after volatilization. Quick-drying Tester was usedto test the fabric drying rate, which was related to fragrance retention. Besides, wicking property and porosity of fabrics,two factors of moisture transmission, were tested and calculated for analysis too. It was found that fabrics with the highercotton content had the better fragrance retention due to their hydrophilicity and water retention property of fibers. Plainfabric had the shorter fragrance retention than twill fabric since its lower porosity and the higher capillary pressure ledto the faster fragrance dissipation. As the fabric density increased or the yarn count decreased, the fragrance retentionincreased. Since their wicking properties decreased, the process of perfume diffusion would slow down. The data andmethods presented in this paper provide a basis for optimizing the parameters of fragrant fabric.}, number = {06}, urldate = {2020-12-31}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {Du, Lei and Wang, Fu-Xiang and Yang, Jia-Li and Shen, Zhuo-Ying and Zhao, Wei-Guo and Zou, Feng-Yuan and Zhu, Hai-Feng and Xu, Su-Hong}, month = dec, year = {2020}, pages = {550--556}, }
