Under these conditions the values characterizing thermal insulating properties of the textile material sample...

Investigating the liquid moisture transport and thermal properties is essential for understanding physiological comfort of clothes. This study reports on an experimental investigation of moisture management transport and thermal transport on the physiological comfort of commercially available socks. There are subjective evaluation and objective mea...

This paper deals with the investigation of the performance of car seat fabrics in terms of physiological comfort of sitting, specifi cally their water vapour resistance and air permeability. The current work presents an alternative approach to increasing the effectiveness of car seat fabrics through a combination of newly designed middle layer with...

Moisture management property has a vital role in any kind of fabric used for inner layer or outer layer of garment. Moisture transportation from the skin to environment through textile material decides the comfort level of that fabric. Every human body sweats during different kinds of activities like walking, running or during exercise. But the mai...

This study examined the effects of ultrasonic welding parameters on bond strength, seam thickness and seam stiffness, as well as water permeability. For study purpose, two types of four-layered fabrics with same compositions and different areal densities suitable for inner part of sport shoes were used. Two different types of seams, lapped and supe...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to deal with performance verification of thermal insulation fillings that are used for outer clothes into cold environments. Thermal properties of filling materials (down and three sophisticated fillings) were tested under condition approaching real weather conditions in Middle Europe. Design/methodology/app...

Liquid moisture transport of textile structures has been studied in order to manage human perspiration well. This article deals with investigation of dynamic moisture transport of knitted fabrics by sophisticated methods, such as moisture management tester (MMT), thermography and microtomography systems. Three groups of knitted fabrics were analyse...

The comfort of drivers in the car is strongly influenced by physiological properties of carseat which are dependent on heat and moisture between body of driver and seat. Purpose of this study is objective evaluation of carseat physiological comfort. Proposal deals with using network of sensors (for temperature and relative humidity) for investigati...

This study evaluates the efficiency of non-flammable functional underwear used as a secondary heat barrier in extreme conditions. Five groups of knitted fabrics were analysed for flame resistance and selected physiological properties (water vapour permeability, air permeability, thermal resistance and liquid moisture transport by moisture managemen...

This paper presents an objective drape evaluation by means of a 3D Drape Scanner to capture complex drape information and increase the accuracy of drape fabric measurement, especially for high-drape fabrics. The new 3D Drape Scanner provides a true three-dimensional image of a drape sample and automatically evaluates chosen drape characteristics su...
