Velvet-like structures can be achieved by flocking. Thereby metal, wood or textile substrates are coated with an adhesive onto which the fibers are applied. The treatment of the surface of a substrate by fibers is carried out in an electrostatic field. Mostly small holes in the adhesive coat on the surface of the substrate result, thereby increasing its porosity. Flocking is carried out in the following way: a fabric, cardboard or leather is coated with an adhesive coat. Usually viscose fibers are either sprayed by air or in an electrostatic field [22] onto the coated surface. [9, 28]. Flocking [1] does not create eo ipso water vapor permeability.

Moisture Permeation through Clothing Leathers and Moisture Absorption

January 2000 · Sen i Gakkaishi

Moisture-permeation through clothing leathers and moisture absorption were investigated by the experimental method used in the previous report (A Consideration on Mechanism of Moisture Permeability through Knitted Fabric of Wool and Crimped Acrylic Fiber). Commercial clothing cattle leather, lamb leather and these leathers extracted with n-hexane, and ECSAINE were used for experiments. ... [Show full abstract] Experiments were performed on one-layered sample and ten-layered samples. It was estimated. that the moisture permeation through the leather extracted with n-hexane occured by a diffusion of water Vapour in the minute space in the leather, and the diffusion coefficient Dc was calculated. The commercial clothing leathers and the leathers ex-tracted with n-hexane differed each other in the mechanism of the moisture permeation through the leather. A large moisture absorption was observed in a process of the moisture permeation through the leathers.

Importance of using genuine leather in shoe production in terms of foot comfort

May 2005 · Journal- Society of Leather Technologists and Chemists

In this study, 1200 pairs of work shoes were examined that had caused complaints by users due to dampness resulting from perspiration in the shoes. It was determined that the upper leather was box calf, the lining was a polyether urethane-based synthetic textile product having a non-woven structure and the insole was a polymeric material of an ethylene-propylene diene rubber (EPDM)-based foam ... [Show full abstract] structure. It was also found that the water vapour permeability and water absorption properties of the synthetic insole used in the manufacturing of the work shoes were quite low. It was concluded that this prevented absorption of wetness formed inside the shoe and transfer of the damp to the air outside, and negatively affected foot comfort, causing user complaints.

Spaced bonding in nonwovens

January 1978 · Tappi

Richard W. Schutte

Nonwovens assembled from filamentary elements flocked with wood pulp fibers comprising at least 50% of the composition have been demonstrated to have a unique balance of textile-like comfort properties. These properties are believed attributable to the morphology of the spaced bonds formed when utilizing the adhesive layer on the individual filaments to bond the nonwoven structure. Essentially ... [Show full abstract] all of the filament junctions were found to have filament - adhesive-pulp-adhesive-filament bonds, thus allowing interfilament movement analogous to the frictional ″bonds″ found in textile fabrics.

Breathability and air permeability-keeping car seats comfy

January 2010

V. Bartels

Volkmar Bartels explains how use of technical textiles in cars make them more comfortable by offering great advantages in terms of breathability and air permeability compared with non-textile products like leather or foam. A more complicated variant of water vapor diffusion is observed in textile use in car seats. Firstly, diffusion has to take place under geometric constraints. Consequently, ... [Show full abstract] thinner textiles always have a better breathability than equally constructed thicker ones. The second complication in textile use is that water vapor is set free on one side of the material. Then diffusion leads not to a leveling out of water vapor concentration, but a continued flow of water vapor through the material. Technical textiles in car seats enhance both breathability and air permeability. Textile seat covers are more breathable than leather, which impedes water vapor diffusion. Three-dimensional spacer fabrics are more air permeable than foams.

Multilayer Cotton Fabrics Porosity and its Influence on Permeability Properties

January 2013 · Tekstilec

Apart from their soft feel and good water absorbency, cotton fabrics are also characterised by good heat conductivity, air permeability and breathing. By increasing the open surface of one-layer fabrics, their air and water vapour permeability and heat conductivity should increase as well, whereas the protection against UV rays, on the other hand, which is especially important for summer clothes, ... [Show full abstract] decreases. The aim of the research was to establish the influence of multilayer cotton fabric constructions on the properties connected with porosity, i.e. heat resistance (RcT), water vapour resistance (ReT), UV permeability (UPF) and air permeability (AP). One layer, two-weft and double cotton fabric constructions were woven from white, blue and black yarn with fineness 8 × 2 tex, warp density 40 ends/cm and weft density 60 picks/cm, taking into consideration the colour distribution of yarns in the fabrics as well. The research results showed that the most optimal construction characterises multilayer two-weft and double fabrics. Among the studied fabrics, a positive correlation was established between the porosity of fabrics and their air permeability or UPF, respectively, and a negative correlation between the porosity of fabrics and their heat conductivity or water vapour permeability, respectively. The correlation between the calculated number of pores of individual samples, as an important factor in porosity, and the studied permeability properties (i.e. heat resistance, water vapour resistance, UV permeability and air permeability) was higher than the correlation between the porosity of samples and the above mentioned permeability properties.
