- the body panels can be made with a relatively low basis weight, yet still exhibit requisite strength properties while remaining relatively soft to the touch. It should be understood that the body panels can be formed from more than two layers or substrates. Of course, it should be understood that the body panels can be made up at least in part from other materials, including various knitted or woven fabrics, polymer films, laminates and the like.
- the non-woven layers or substrates are made of a spunbond material, for example a 0.55 osy wire-weave spunbond material.
- the softness of the body panels can be determined in a variety of different ways, including sensory testing.
- One test method is the Kawabata surface friction test, which demonstrates differences in the laminate surface softness by measuring the mean deviation of the coefficient of friction. In particular, the lower the mean deviation, the smoother/softer the surface, as correlated with additional sensory testing.
- the Kawabata surface friction best uses a Kawabata Evaluation System (KES-SE) surface friction electronic instrument manufactured by Kato Tech Company, Japan, and which is equipped with a calculation circuit to measure frictional coefficient (MIU) and the mean deviation of the coefficient of friction (MMD) of sheet-like materials.
- KS-SE Kawabata Evaluation System
- MIU frictional coefficient
- MMD mean deviation of the coefficient of friction
- a specimen is placed on a sliding table at a specified speed.
- the moving direction and distance are detected by a potentiometer as the displacement output voltage.
- Surface friction is measured by a roughness sensor positioned against the specimen surface, or by using a frictional force sensor with weight.
- the frictional force sensor is connected to a frictional force transducer with a linear differential transformer.
- the measured values are closely related to the hand touch feeling of a material's surface.
- a KES Surface Friction and Surface Roughness Electronic Unit (KES-SE-U) is used, together with a KES Surface Friction and Surface Roughness Mechanical Unit (KES-SE-U) which includes a 50-gram sensor weight, and a specimen fixation weight.
- the testing laboratory has a conditioned testing environment of 23 ⁇ 2°C and 50 +.2°C and 50 ⁇ 5 % relative humidity.
- the probe for measuring friction consists of 10 stainless steel wires each with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a length of 10 mm.
- the required number of specimens is cut from a sample. Each specimen is cut to a dimension of approximately 10 by 10 centimeters, or in one embodiment 10 cm in the machine direction by 6 cm in the cross direction, with the surface testing being performed only in the machine direction and with the sample mounted such that the machine direction is parallel to the moving direction of the bed.
- the measured distance on the sample is 2 cm.
- the test is run according to the following steps:
- the cable labeled FR on the mechanical unit is connected to the FR-DT port located in back of the KES unit.
- the analog meter for surface friction is positioned on the left side of the electronic unit and is labeled FRICTION.
- the zero adjust dial for surface friction testing is labeled FR-ZERO.
- the standard setting for the SPEED knob is 1 mm/s. Toggle the SPEED switch to either 1/10 or 1 to adjust the speed knob selection. The standard setting for the SPEED switch is 1.
- Friction Sensitivity When H is selected on the electronic unit, select H as a standard setting. When L is selected on the electronic unit, select
- Speed Select the appropriate speed; 1 and 1 are standard settings.
- Friction Static Load Select 50 as a standard input value if using the sensor weight. Select 25 as the standard input value if the sensor is used without the sensor weight.
- each of the strand coated samples had a mean deviation of less than about 0.020 in the unstretched condition and a mean deviation of less than about 0.018 in the stretched condition.
- Shear testing is also used to analyze the shear stiffness of materials.
- the specimen is held under a constant tensile force and applied a shear deformation at a constant rate of 0.417 millimeters/second.
- the mechanical properties under shear stress are important characteristics of the hand-feel of materials.
- Shearing stiffness is the ease with which the fibers slide against each other resulting in soft/pliable to stiff/rigid structures. Lower values of shear stiffness indicate less resistance to shearing movement which corresponds to a softer material having better drape, while higher shear stiffness indicates lower conformability and bulk softness.
- the shear stiffness is used to assess the conformation of the materials to curved surfaces and as an indicator of bulk softness of the materials.
- Shear hysteresis is the mean hysteresis at positive and negative shear angles. The larger the value, the worse the recovery ability or less apt the material is to return to its initial state.
- Shear stiffness (G), also called “shear rigidity,” is calculated as the mean of the slopes of plots of shear force versus shear angle curve. The slopes are obtained at positive shear angle reference (i.e., 0.5 degrees to 2.5 degrees) and negative shear angle reference (i.e., -0.5 degrees to -2.5 degrees). The larger the value, the higher the shearing rigidity or more resistant to deformation the material is. In the shear test, the sample is given a constant tension of 10 gf/cm and then applied a shear deformation at a shear strain rate of 0.417mm/s

Turn the OSC/BAL/MES knob to BAL. The needle on the analog meter should be positioned between 0.00 and 0.05 volts. If it is necessary to adjust the BAL, unlock the AC BaI dial, make the necessary adjustment, and relock the dial. 6. Press the black button labeled X.
- the needle on the analog meter should be positioned to approximately 0 volts and the digital readout should read ⁇ 0.00. If it is necessary to adjust the MES, unlock the ZERO ADJ dial, make the necessary adjustment, and relock the dial. Leave the OSC/BAL/MES knob positioned to MES.
- the strand coated sample had a lower shear stiffness in both the machine and cross directions (0.762 g and 1.090 g respectively) than the meltblown control coated sample (1.090 g and 3.040 g), which corresponds to a softer material.
- sensory testing was also performed to evaluate the " sensory softness" of strand coated laminates as compared with control coated laminates. The sensory testing was completed using the following methodology:
- a panel of twelve (12) people is initially selected. For example, for the testing completed herein, a panel of twelve women were selected.
- a specialized training session will occur prior to the actual product testing sessions. During this two hour session, the testing procedures will be explained to the panelists as they evaluate a set of practice samples (similar but not identical to the test products).
- test material sections are 10 inches long by 6 inches wide.
- the sections can be cut from the waist area of absorbent garments.
- Two sections are bonded to form side seals, such that the sample is two thicknesses of the material and simulates the waist section of an undergarment.
- Each panelist evaluates multiple sets of four test products.
- the panelists order or arrange the products for softness from the most soft to the least soft.
- the responses are recorded on a computerized ballot, similar to that shown in FIG. 7.
- Each sample is identified by a 3-digit blinding code.
- Categorical data is generated that will be analyzed using logistic regression techniques.
- An initial presentation set size (block) of four samples is used, since there may be potential difficulties in evaluating multiple samples at one time.
- a balanced incomplete blocks can be used.
- a stack of four samples is presented to each panelist.
- the panelist receives the stack and arranges the samples left to right, starting from the left (top on left, bottommost on right).
- the panelist evaluates each product individually starting on the far left and moving hi sequence to the right as instructed above.
- a proportional hazards logistic regression model was used to analyze the ordinal data. All ranking responses were used to generate individual scores for each product that fall along a linear scale. The statistical comparisons between products may be based on data from one or more individual testing sessions, depending on the results of the reliability analyses.
- Within-day reliability estimates are made by correlating the two sets of scores made on each day: Session 1 with 2 and Session 3 with 4. The between-day reliability estimates are then made by first collapsing the data within each day and then correlating Day 1 with Day 2. Additional reliability analyses can also be made as the data merit. Designed Experiment:
