Research in functional and smart textiles often focuses on technological and scientific challenges, or on the interaction with the wearer in a technological sense, but smaller extent on the interaction of these fabrics with the wearer in terms of tactile sensations. This research focuses on the subjective evaluation of the smart and functional textile fabrics as well as the objective evaluation using Kawabata Evaluation System (KES). A collection of the smart and functional textiles was developed and collected using various state of the art technologies such as 3D printing, inkjet printing, screen printing, and incorporation of smart fibers with knitting. The contact mechanics of these fabrics will be evaluated by subjective hand evaluation to study smart and functional textile fabric sensory properties such smoothness, roughness, softness, prickliness, stretchability, fluffy, sticky, sliding, and other behaviors of the smart fabric when touched with parts of the human finger. Equations will be developed to relate the subjective and objective measurements of the smart textile fabrics. The subjective hand values will be compared further with mechanical properties of the smart fabric such as tensile, bending, shear, compression, and surface friction which will be measured using KES.
