Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of an experimental study of the influence of enzyme washing treatments of jeans on its hydrophilic property. It provides a systematic analysis of the changes in hydrophilic property between two textile substrates: treated and untreated jeans dyed fabrics. The change of the hydrophilicity of the fabric as a result of the washing treatment is evaluated by measuring the contact angle. Then, a mathematical model was found and established to follow the spreading and diffusion kinetic of the water drop deposited on the surface of the Denim textile.
