Thermal and water vapor resistance of the elastic and conventional cotton fabrics

Abstract: The research focuses on the influence of elastane (Spandex) incorporation in the weft direction of cotton fabrics, and the structural properties (fabric density, type of weave) on the thermal and water vapor resistance level. For that purpose, woven fabrics, in plain and twill weave with two different densities (17 and 20 yarns/cm) in the weft direction, were made from 100% cotton (conventional) and from a mixture cotton/elastane in the ratio 93.8%/6.2% (elastic fabric) intended for men’s shirts for the summe… Show more

“…The thermal conductivity method was established by the Faculty Research Laboratory and is used in common to evaluate the thermal conductivity properties [18]. Measuring the thermal conductivity is based on the transport of the heat fl ow from a warmer to cooler region, from the bottom of the apparatus to the top.…”

“…Clothing comfort, particularly the feeling of coolness during the summer season or when engaging in sports activities, is of paramount importance for wearers. As the human body generates heat more quickly during vigorous activities, the moisture transport and water vapour transmission (WVT) properties of a garment highly influence its capability to dissipate the extra heat or water vapour from the human body to the outer environment and consequently maintain the body temperature at 37°C through perspiration evaporation [3][4][5][6].…”

“…Já quanto ao conforto, encontrou-se artigos referentes a tecidos sem estampas, como BROEGA e SILVA [5] que descrevem a importância do conforto no vestuário. Outros estudos como os de HAE et al [6], GORJANC et al [7], e BAJZIK [8], relacionaram o conforto térmico ao ambiente. ZHANG et al [9] discutem a aplicação de sílica em algodão para analisar os efeitos hidrofóbicos utilizando o ensaio de ângulo de contato da gota e concluí-ram que a sílica aplicada ao algodão deixa o tecido superhidrofóbico.…”
