Fabric Selection of Thermal Underwear under Different Conditions

Abstract:

This paper selected 10 kinds of fabrics of thermal underwear, which are the representatives on the market; carried out tests on the fabric properties (thickness, density, the gram per square meter, etc.) and the fabric wearability (permeability, water vapor permeability, wicking height, insulation and antistatic properties, etc.); analyzed these data by using SPSS, finding out the factors which effect the warmth, moisture permeability, air permeability, etc, as well as the relationship between these factors. This article evaluated fabric wearability comprehensively by using concentrated reflection method and function value evaluation method to select the proper fabrics of thermal underwear under different conditions. The results of this research can be a good reference of thermal underwear fabric selection for enterprises.
