Predicting Comfort of Flame Resistant Clothing By Scott M. Margolin


Comfort has rapidly become a key factor in the selection of flame resistant (FR) and arc-rated (AR) protective clothing In fact, recent research shows it is more important to wearers and specifiers than any single factor. As we move into the spring and summer, it seems timely to review what is known about comfort and to clear up several common misconceptions.....more

The Effect of Thermal Insulation of Clothing on Human Thermal Comfort
by


R. Tuğrul Oğulata 

Abstract
The human body is under various continuous external conditions, some of which make wearers uncomfortable. Usually, human thermal comfort depends on combinations of clothing, climate, and physical activity. Specifically thermal insulation in clothing is an important parameter of thermal comfort. Therefore, this paper discusses theoretically the basic physical principles of the body’s mechanism for heat transfer with the environment. In this study, the body’s heat balance was examined, and the effects of clothes and various climatic conditions on thermal comfort were investigated for different physical activities....

Clothing comfort and function. Authors FOURT, L.; HOLLIES, N. R. S.


The authors have produced a very readable review of the literature on the physiological and material aspects of clothing science which will to a large extent replace NEWBURGH'S classic text. The level of presentation in terms of data and references, of which there are 477, will make it very useful to the clothing specialist and research worker. At the same time it is easy to read and understand and so can be recommended to most scientists and medical workers who need a text on the science of clothing...... more
