AB - The aim of the study is to reveal the effect of knitted fabric parameters on fragrance retention performance. For this purpose, four knitted fabric parameters were explored, including yarn composition, yarn count, wales per centimeter, and courses per centimeter. The fragrance concentration of the knitted fabric was quantitatively measured by the electronic nose. Then the fragrance retention amount was put forward to characterize the fragrance retention performance of fabrics. Meanwhile, the factors affecting the fragrance retention performance were analyzed. By using single factor analysis of variance and regression analysis, the relationship between knitted fabric parameters and fragrance retention performance was revealed. The value of significance is lower than 0.05, which shows that knitted fabric parameters make a difference on fragrance retention performance. Furthermore, a regression equation was determined as a predicted model. The fragrance retention performance of the knitted fabric is directly proportional to the hydrophile fiber content and stitch density (i.e. course and wale) of the fabric. On the contrary, it is inversely proportional to the yarn count. The drying property and wicking property were proved to influence the fragrance retention performance. Drying property is the crucial factor on fragrance retention performance. The data and method presented in this paper provide a basis for optimizing the design of knitted fabrics with fragrance retention performance.
