Comprehensive Evaluation On Wearing Performance Of Health-Care Functional Socks

With the development of science and technology in the 21st century, people's living standard is gradually improving and thus more and more attention is being paid to health. Functional socks, a part of functional clothing, are coming into daily life and play an important role in the health of feet. Now functional products, especially health-care socks, emerge endlessly in the market, making it essential to investigate whether other properties meet people's dressing requirements when functional socks bring their properties into play, also, how to take a comprehensive evaluation on wearing performance of health-care functional socks for a possible development direction of the products is worthy of study.Firstly, in this paper, literature review is given before a summary of developing trend of functional socks. Focusing on health-care functional socks, a survey on consumers of all ages concerning their feet health and purchase demand is carried out and the findings are illustrated in detail.Secondly, an evaluation system of wearing performance of health-care functional socks is built after the main indicators and their index weights are determined. The evaluation system can be divided into primary indicators and secondary indicators. The primary indicators are general and 5 in numbers, including comfortness, fittness, durbility, appearance and health-care performance.The secondary indicators are specific in content and can reflect the target of indicators. For example, secondary indicators under health-care performance are described as anti-bacterial and odor-proofing, the far infrared emission, anti-uv, aromatic flavor. By using AHP and yaahp software, the specific weights of evaluation index values are determined and then a complete evaluation index system of wearing performance of health-care functional socks is established.Thirdly, nine non-winter thin health-care men's socks were selected as the sample socks for the study, and physical objective experiments and subjective tracking experiment were carried out. Physical objective test indicators include air permeability, hydroscopicity, moisture permeability, elasticity, abrasion, pilling resistance, etc. As for subjective tracking experiment, by selecting the respondents of the questionnaire mentioned before, six young men were chosen to wear the nine kinds of socks in two months in summer. They were asked to evaluate every indicator for each pair of socks plus a comprehensive evaluation for each pair, and they also made a comparative evaluation for their feet health after the wearing. The results after analysis show the good and bad ones for comprehensive evaluation, and the significant impacting factors of subjective evaluation, correlation analysis result between subjective and objective are got by combining objective analysis with the experimental results of subjective.Finally, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is introduced, the application and advantages of AHP-Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model are mainly described. Nine kinds of health care functional socks are evaluated by using this model and the fuzzy evaluation scores of socking socks are obtained. In addition, the results of the physical objective indicators and and the results of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation are comparative analysised. It was found that subjective evaluation and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation arrived at an identical result to a very great extent especially socks whose wearing performance are the relative best and the relative worst. It is proved that the result of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is scientific to some extent, It's useful to apply AHP-Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model to evaluate the comprehensive wearing performance of health-care functional socks, also on the other hand confirms the effectiveness of the evaluation system of wearing performance of health-care functional socks which derived by AHP.The conclutions of the paper have the reference value for future experimental research and the direction of development and production of health-care functional socks.
