Abstract
The surface structure of a fabric not only affects the style, appearance and weaving process of the fabric, but also
has an important influence on the performance and comfort of the garment it is processed on. The surface friction properties
of fabrics are one of the important mechanical characteristics in the evaluation of fabric feel and can provide an important
scientific basis for the performance evaluation and quality control of fabrics. The system consists of a test module and a
control module, which can dynamically test the changes in positive pressure and multiple directions in real time. The test
process is controlled in real time by the measurement and control software in the control module, which also displays the
numerical magnitude and variation curves of the friction coefficient, positive pressure and friction force. The coefficient of
variation (CV) of the coefficient of friction for fabrics with different test speeds at the same time is less than 10 % for normal
experiments on fabrics. After five repeatable tests using cotton, polyester-cotton and polyester fabrics, the mean values of the
coefficient of friction for the three fabrics were very close and the instrument showed good stability and repeatability. In
comparison tests with the KES fabric style meter test system, the coefficient of friction curves for cotton fabrics measured by
both instruments were consistent, with the mean values fluctuating slightly around 0.23. After five tests, the inter-group CV
of the surface friction coefficient of the fabric was only 0.88 %. A correlation analysis of the surface roughness of the fabric
using the data processing method and the roughness signal obtained from the KES direct test showed a correlation coefficient
greater than 0.8 and a slope of the linear regression line greater than 1, demonstrating the high correlation between the
indirect test method using data processing and the direct test of the mechanical test.
