Abrasion Thermo-transference Fabric Vinyl Resistance and Its Application in Haptics Perception Stimuli

Abstract:

In this research a comparative analysis is performed to determine thermo-transference vinyl finish abrasion resistance in select texture under the ISO 12947–2: 2016 Abrasion resistance test with upper limit 100000 cycles. The comparative analysis studies 2 types of fabric performance: Knitting fabric: (i) White Jersey (ii) Red fleece (iii) White Pique and Flat knit: (iv) Pink knit, (v) White print knit, (vi) 4 types Gabardine fabric: (a) 90-microne Fine vinyl (b)110 -micron Average vinyl, (c) 325-micron Glitter vinyl (d) 600-microne Embossed vinyl considering time, temperature, pressure and transfer method applying the Midi Martindale equipment. Additionally, the study of embossed textile products stimulates the sense of touch in individuals with a light degree of visual impairment or completely visually impaired. This information is based on an analog test –Snellen methodology to measure visual acuity adapted to smooth surfaces like embossment or shine, micron finesse and three detail complexity levels in characters: basic figures, alphanumeric and complex designed with Adobe Illustrator Cs6. Since used vinyl is thermoplastic together with substrate allows for user sensory perception magnification through finger tips nerve endings emitting electrical impulses to the brain turning into information giving rise to haptics perception.
