The fabric type, water content and friction velocity significantly influence skin perceptual wetness. Fabric with good liquid moisture management property is perceived as significantly less wet, especially under heavy sweaty state of human body. The stronger wetness perception is perceived when fabric with a small frictional coefficient rubs skin at a lower friction velocity. The maximum transient thermal flow of fabric has a significantly positive correlation with wetness perception (r = 0.972).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
