“…The instrument uses the quartz tube as a radiant heat source as stated in ASTM F1939 for radiant heat resistance measurement. 35 The apparatus consists of a quartz tube, fabric sample holder, and sensor for measurements and software for data recording as shown in Figure 1. The quartz tube vertically oriented in the instrument produces radiant heat flux.…”

“…Thermal resistance is an inherent property of a textile material that measures the resistance to the flow of heat and plays a crucial role in the determination of the heat insulation property of the fabric. 35 The metabolic heat produced by the body during fire exposure must be dissipated from the skin to provide comfort to the wearer. It thus accounts for the internal to external thermal transport property of the fabric.…”

The compact construction of fire-resistant woven clothing designed for radiant heat flux protection limits the air permeability from the skin to the environment that risks thermal stress to the wearer. Knitted fabric is well known for its comfort and transmission properties. The inevitable porosity of the knitted fabric has restrained its application in fire-protective clothing. This study attempts to apply tuck and miss elements of a knitted structure to produce a compact yet comfortable flame-retardant fabric with maximum air permeability. The effect of radiant heat exposure at the intensity of 40 kW/m2 and 61 kW/m2 is analyzed for the designed sample. The tuck and miss stitches are used to modify rib-knitted structure and the second-degree burn time estimated using Stoll’s curve. The findings of this research show that a simple modification of rib structure with incorporation of miss stitch can enhance the second-degree burn time to 30 s at the radiant heat exposure of 40 kW/m2.

“…Dolez et al [ 119 ] provided a mature comfort testing method for common textiles can be used for smart textiles, i.e., battery textiles, which includes four aspects: thermophysiological (ISO 11 092, 2014 and ISO 15 831 standard), skin sensorial (ISO 11 092 (2014), ergonomic and psychological. [ 120 ] Sima et al [ 121 ] proposed a system for evaluating thermal comfort of smart textiles clothing, which was capable of sending data through Bluetooth, which was verified by comparative measurements and thermal camera scanning. However, it should be noted that a standard comfort testing method for battery textiles has yet to be enforced, even though many are aware that battery textiles should be comfortable.…”

Recently, due to its flexibility and ease of integration into wearable electronics, interest in fiber‐shaped batteries (FSBs) is burgeoning. While there is much research focused on improving the electrochemical performance of FSBs, little work is done to evaluate the safety and comfort of integrated FSBs for wearable electronics, which will significantly hinder the further development of high‐performance FSBs and their commercialization. In this review, the design, integration, and evaluation of FSBs incorporated in common textiles are fully discussed. Traditional textile characterization techniques and modern methods to evaluate its durability are also summarized. Finally, in view of developing commercial wearable battery textiles, a perspective toward improving the design of high‐performance FSB is presented.

“…Additionally, the interactions of clothing with the human skin and various factors that affect the fi tting of the garment to the human body have been discussed by many researchers [17]. Furthermore, the human anatomy and body movement should be taken into account [18]. This helps to simplify the adaption of the clothing to the human body so that comfort is confi rmed.…”

Protective and sport clothing is governed by protection requirements, performance, and comfort of the user. The comfort and impact performance of protective and sport clothing are typically subjectively measured, and this is a multifactorial and dynamic process. The aim of this review paper is to review the contemporary methodologies and approaches for measuring ergonomic wear comfort, including objective and subjective techniques. Special emphasis is given to the discussion of different methods, such as objective techniques, subjective techniques, and a combination of techniques, as well as a new biomechanical approach called modeling of skin. Literature indicates that there are four main techniques to measure wear comfort: subjective evaluation, objective measurements, a combination of subjective and objective techniques, and computer modeling of human–textile interaction. In objective measurement methods, the repeatability of results is excellent, and quantified results are obtained, but in some cases, such quantified results are quite different from the real perception of human comfort. Studies indicate that subjective analysis of comfort is less reliable than objective analysis because human subjects vary among themselves. Therefore, it can be concluded that a combination of objective and subjective measuring techniques could be the valid approach to model the comfort of textile materials.
