Abstract
In this paper, fuzzy logic method was used to model the effect of stain repellent treatment on plush knitted fabrics intended for baby clothes. In order to reduce the complexity of the models and increase the knowledge and comprehension of the underlying process, a fuzzy sensitivity variation criterion was used to select the most relevant parameters which are taken as inputs of the reduced fuzzy logic models. The outputs are the water-oil contact angles characterizing the stain repellent behavior of fabrics and the percentage of decrease of air permeability to control the change of hygienic comfort. Obtained results showed that the hydrophilic samples were transformed to water-oil repellent ones and some experimental conditions induce a high contact angle without affecting the air permeability.
