“…These findings were consistent with the results from the following wear trial study. 66 Lee and Little 67 devised a new experimental equipment to measure changes in temperature and relative humidity in the microclimate between layers of four three-layer cotton and polyester fabric assemblies. The results revealed that the relative humidity within the polyester fabrics was higher, owing to hydrophobic characteristics, than that of the cotton fabrics.…”

Multilayer fabrics have been widely used for cold weather clothing and thermal protective clothing. The thermal and water vapor resistances provided by multilayer fabrics are of considerable importance in determining thermal comfort of clothing. Firstly, those studies on the steady-state heat and water vapor transfer through multilayer fabrics are summarized. There are three circumstances between thermal resistance of individual layers and the total thermal resistance of multilayer fabrics, that is, additive thermal resistance of individual layers, less resistance per additional layer, and more resistance per additional layer. Secondly, an overview on unsteady-state heat and water vapor transfer through multilayer fabrics is presented. Thirdly, the models on the heat and water vapor transfer through multilayer fabrics at both steady state and unsteady state are summed up. Finally, several research themes for the future are described.

“…However, the poor hydrophilicity of PET fabric was the bottleneck and limited the applications not only in clothing but also in biomedicine and bioengineering. It makes PET fabric uncomfortable to wear [3] and also precludes functional modifications, such as adding antimicrobial agents or flame retardants [4].…”

“…18 Double-sided knitted fabrics can make use of the differential capillary effect to apply cellular mesh or dotted tissue structure in fabrics while the outer layer applies fine fibers to weave a high-density tissue structure, so as to form a structure with thickness inside and fineness outside and looseness inside and tightness outside, facilitating the fast discharge of sweat. [19][20][21][22] In summary, the current studies have mainly focused on developing high-performance water management fabrics. However, the thermal comfort of garments will result from the mutual interactions of the human body, garments, and the environment and will be affected by multiple factors, including the garment materials, garment styles, physiological and mental impressions, and thermo-acclimatization.…”

Enhancing the thermal-wet comfort of garments is a key factor in sportswear research. In this study, we designed a new three-dimensional moisture conduction structure model, developed double-sided fabrics of a changed spacer weft-knitted structure, and compared them with single-sided plain stitch and cellular structure fabrics, focusing on the morphology, basic structural parameters and absorption, and quick-drying performance. The findings indicated that the changed spacer weft-knitted fabric consisting of 18 tex Tencel and 33.3 tex (96 f) recycled polyester filament has a smaller surface density and thickness, the water absorption of 436%, the water evaporation rate of 0.354 g/h, and the water vapor transmission of 7476.75 g/(m2 · d). Compared with other fabrics, it has excellent absorption and quick-drying performance. Partitioned T-shirts were designed by using the human body sweating law, and four fabrics were applied to one to four areas according to the sweating degree. Through infrared image monitoring and subjective evaluation, we concluded that the partitioned T-shirt has efficient absorption and quick-drying ability, and has potential to be applied to the development of thermal-wet comfort sportswear.
