Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of wearability of ´SIWEAR´, air-conditioning fiber, knitted fabrics

Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is an effective multi-factor decision-making method used to perform comprehensive evaluation of properties affected by many factors. The character of the method is that the evaluation result is not absolutely positive or negative, but that it is expressed by a fuzzy set. “SIWEAR” PCM fiber is a new type of intelligent air-conditioning fiber. Its development and application are still in the experimental stage. To obtain the best textile and knitting technology, six kinds of knitted fabrics were produced using different technology processes and seven performance indexes were chosen to determine the best integrated wearability fabric using the multi-factor fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The final results provide a design reference for “SIWEAR” PCM fiber´s design and production.
