Perceptions of temperature, moisture and comfort in clothing during environmental transients. Li Y.

Abstract

A study has been carried out to investigate the psychophysical mechanisms of the perception of temperature and moisture sensations in clothing during environmental transients. A series of wear trials was conducted to measure the psychological perception of thermal and moisture sensations and the simultaneous temperature and humidity at the skin surface, fabric surface and in the clothing under simulated moderate rain conditions. Jumpers made from wool and acrylic fibres were used in the trial. Analysis has been carried out to study the relationship between psychological perceptions of temperature and moisture and the objectively measured skin and fabric temperatures and relative humidity in clothing microclimate. The perception of warmth seems to follow Fechner's law and Stevens' power law, having positive relationships with the skin temperature and fabric temperatures. The perception of dampness appears to follow Fechner's law more closely than Stevens' power law with a negative relationship with skin temperature, and is nonlinearly and positively correlated with relative humidity in clothing microclimate. The perception of comfort is positively related to the perception of warmth and negatively to the perception of dampness. This perception of comfort is positively related to the skin temperature, which appears to follow both Fechner's law and Stevens' law, also non-linearly and negatively related to relative humidity in clothing microclimate.

FR Protection you want to wear

Flame-resistant clothing has evolved over several decades. For years, safety and maintenance managers had limited choices for FR daily wear to protect their employees. The leading problem with legacy FR garments is comfort. Historically, FR clothing is heavy weight, limited in its ability to breathe, and lacked the ability to manage sweat.

There is a new choice in the revolution of FR Protection and Comfort...

Abstract: The basic requirement of clothing is that it must not cause discomfort for the wearer. Modern consumers are interested in clothing that not only looks good, but also feel good. It has been identified, by both natural and synthetic fiber markers, that con- sumers are increasingly involving more than their visual sense and are allowing touch, smell, intuition and emotion to influence their decisions. As a result, greater importance being attributed to the shopping and wearing experience interest is growing in better feel- ing fabrics. Comfort is being reinforced a key parameter in clothing. Good health is treasure. The textiles are making human life, a natural healthy life and making them comfortable.

Comfort has been identified by major fiber marketers as one of the key attributes for consumer’s desirability on apparel products in all markets. Comfort as a pleasant state of physiological, psychological and physical harmony between a human being and the envi- ronment. Physiological comfort is related to the human body’s ability to maintain life, psychological comfort to the mind’s ability to keep it functioning satisfactorily with external help and physical comfort to the effect of the external environment on the body. more...

Cotton Clothing Comfort Compared To Polyester By : Mahfuzer Rahman Maruf

Cotton Clothing Comfort Compared To Polyester By :   Mahfuzer Rahman Maruf

In summer season polyester made garments are not comfortable to the wearer in absence of any softener in fabric, this happens only for the tropical countries like Bangladesh. We have seen that in hot weather polyester made garments wearer doesn't feel comfortable. Besides cotton made garments gives more comfort in the same aspect to the wearer in hot condition. Due to a novel comfort characteristics Cotton today is the most used textile fiber in the world. It has terrific soft hand feel, good moisture absorbency & good moisture vapor transmission. On the other hand polyester is used for different blended fabric & home furnishing materials for its hydrophobic nature and better durability. The main aim of this article is to find out the possible reason of variation of comfort between the cotton garments and polyester garments in the tropical countries. In this paper the comfort of cotton & polyester fibers are demonstrated with respect to their dominating properties, which are affected by some important factors. Some physiological interaction with skin and garments are also taken under consideration with a technical approach in this paper. more

   Moisture from perspiration collects in and passes through clothing as worn, and the properties of clothing fabrics influence both the collection and passage of this moisture. The selection and measure of moisture properties that relate to comfort in wear has proved to be more difficult than first perceived. Dynamic surface wetness of fabrics has been found to correlate with skin contact comfort in wear for a variety of fabric types, suggesting that mobility of thin films of condensed moisture is an important element of wearing comfort. This paper discusses how dynamic surface wetness is measured and calibrated against color standards used in the measurement. ..more
