Thermo-physiological comfort and safety of the people who are working as firefighter,
industrial worker, military personnel and race car driver are major concerns. This led to the …

Aerogel fibers inherit the merits of aerogel and fibrous materials, such as high porosity and
satisfactory knittability, demonstrating great potential as thermal protective materials applied …

Personal protection is critical for firefighters to ensure their safety in an extreme fire
environment. However, conventional firefighter uniforms tend to focus on thermal protection …

Personal protective clothing (PPC) is mandatory in hazardous industrial workplaces, but can
increase thermophysiological strain, causing fatigue, reduced productivity, illness and injury …

The adoption of self-sterilizing materials to reduce infection transmission in hospitals and
related healthcare facilities has been hampered by the availability of scalable, cost-effective …

The aim of the present study was to obtain high-performance materials for heat and flame
protective clothing. Therefore, hybrid membranes were prepared using Kevlar as support …

Abstract Development of ease-fabricated and effectively self-disinfecting textile materials for
antimicrobial and infection prevention has been urgently desired by both consumers and …

This paper presents a model to study the heat and moisture transfer through multi-layer
firefighter protective clothing with air gaps exposed to low level radiation. The model …

Perspired moisture plays a crucial role in the thermal physiology and protection of the
human body wearing thermal protective clothing. Until now, the role of continuous sweating …

This study delineates the heat transfer through multilayer fire retardant fabrics exposed to
different levels of a purely radiant heat source with an air gap between fabric and skin. This …
