Abstract
We have investigated, by a quantitative evaluation method, the efficiency of the removal of particulate matter that was attached to clothing, by using a clothing care system. We utilized a proper, standard image-processing method as well as experimental conditions which simulated an outdoor environment in order to ensure reliability. The kinetic energy loss, which occurred during the energy transfer, which was required to detach the dust particles from clothing was also studied with visual evidence in the form of high-speed images. The development of this method for the evaluation of particle removal which is based on direct, visual measurements, instead of indirect analogous interpretations, is expected to be useful for various fields that require precise quantitative evaluation.
