This paper reports on an investigation of physical properties on some of the clothing comfort
properties of knitted fabrics. Fabric parameters such as fabric density, fabric thickness and …

Numerous articles have appeared in the literature on such factors involved in garment
comfort as moisture porosity and wickability. However, the only way to determine the relative …

The moisture responses of plain jersey and 1 X 1 rib fabrics constructed from synthetic fiber-
cotton blend yarns have been studied. The fabric responses include water vapor …

A test method that measures microclimate drying time is used to compare the ability of
different knit materials to dissipate moisture vapor from a saturated clothing environment to …

Natural fibers have a reputation for being comfortable, whereas some ofthe synthetic fibers
have a reputation for being less comfortable. Some of the factors affecting subjective …

The purpose of this paper is to record the results of measurements of thermal transmission,
air permeability, thickness, weight, com-pressional characteristics, and coefficient of friction …

This paper reports the results of thermal comfort studies on women subjects wearing
complete outfits of clothing made from fabrics of cotton, nylon, acetate, and Arnel. The …

The term'comfort'is a nebulous one, which defies definition, but the sensation of comfort is
easily recognized by the person experiencing it. Many attempts have been made, without …

The main aim of this study is to determine the thermo-physiological comfort properties of
single knit fabrics and their derivatives. As the Single Jersey knitted fabrics are the most …

The findings of earlier research on the influence of particular yarn and fabric structural
variables on heat transfer and air flow through fabrics are used in explaining similarities and …
