“…Th is is because of the higher number of turns per meter, which contributes to resistance to the applied load (undamaged) and easier recovery. Th is result is confi rmed by a previous similar report on the recoverability of knitted fabrics [15] and the bending properties of woven fabrics [13].…”

The psychological satisfaction of the textile customer is the fi rst criteria used to evaluate clothing and a lack of aesthetics, while fashionability and physical appearance contribute to the psychological discomfort of users. Either inherently or due to processing, cotton cloths demonstrate diff erent psychological comfort behaviours. Manufacturers must therefore produce fabrics with optimum psychological comfort parameters. The objective of this research was to study the eff ect of cotton yarn parameters on the psychological comfort properties of woven fabrics. Four woven fabrics were produced from cotton yarns with diff erent yarn twists, yarn counts, strengths and yarn elongations. Psychological comfort parameters such as wrinkle, drape, crease, bending modules and fl exural rigidity were measured and analysed in accordance with the ES ISO 9867, ISO 9073-9, ES ISO 2313 and ASTM D1388-18 standards, respectively. Multiple regression equations were developed to predict the comfort properties of clothing in relation to yarn parameters. A statistical analysis showed that the wrinkle recovery and drapeability of fabrics were signifi cantly aff ected by yarn twist, count and tenacity, and the elongation of yarns. However, yarn twist, count, tenacity and elongation had an insignifi cant eff ect on the crease recovery of woven samples at an F-value of 3.546 and a P-value of 0.069. The stiff ness properties of the fabrics such as fl exural rigidity and bending modules also showed insignificant diff erence between samples at F = 38487.969, P = 0.057 and F = 25.506, P = 0.055 respectively. A multiple regression analysis showed a positive correlation between yarn parameters (factors) and response, with Adj. R 2 of 0.0998, Adj. R 2 of 0.975 and Adj. R 2 of 1 for crease recovery, wrinkle recovery and drape coeffi cient, respectively. The equations developed are helpful to fabric manufacturers in sourcing yarns with specifi c parameters to produce the desired comfort level in a fabric.Izvleček Psihološko zadovoljstvo kupca s tekstilijo je prvi kriterij ocenjevanja oblačila, pri čemer pomanjkanje estetike, modnosti in fi zičnega videza vplivajo na psihološko neudobje uporabnika oblačila. Bombažna tekstilija izkazuje sama ali zaradi obdelav različne psihološke odzive. Proizvajalci morajo zato izdelovati tekstilije z optimalnimi parametri psihološkega udobja. Namen raziskave je bil preučiti vpliv parametrov bombažne preje na psihološke lastnosti udob ja tkanin. Štiri tkanine so bile izdelane iz bombažnih prej z različnim vitjem, dolžinsko maso, trdnostjo in raztez kom. Parametri psihološkega udobja, kot so gube, drapiranje, zmečkanost, upogibni modul in upogibna togost, so bili izmerjeni in analizirani v skladu s standardi ES ISO 9867, ISO 9073-9, ES ISO 2313

“…According to Dias and Delkumburewatte (2007), comfort is defined as the absence of displeasure or discomfort or a neutral state compared to the more active state of pleasure. Generally, there are three parameters which are mainly influencing comfort properties of clothing; these are thermo-physiological, sensorial, and psychological comfort (Atalie et al , 2019; Demiryürek et al , 2019; Srdjak, 2009; Zhang et al , 2010). Thermal properties of textiles are considered to be the most important feature due to the high demand of comfort (Buzaite et al , 2019; Oner, 2019; Prakash and Ramakrishnan, 2013a, b; Prakash et al , 2011, 2013).…”

PurposeThis paper investigates the thermal comfort properties of quilted (jersey cord) fabrics produced with different width of diamond pattern, different filling yarn linear density and different types of material.Design/methodology/approachA total of 12 fabrics were knitted by varying the width of diamond pattern (1 and 3 cm), the filling yarn linear density (300 and 900 denier) and the type of materials (cotton, polyester and their combination). In this regard, air permeability, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity and relative water vapor permeability of these fabrics were measured and evaluated statistically.FindingsThe results showed that fabrics knitted using cotton yarn in both front and back surfaces exhibit higher thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity and relative water vapor permeability characteristics; whereas samples knitted using polyester yarn in both surfaces have higher air permeability and thermal resistance. As the linear density of filling yarn increases, thickness and thermal resistance of the samples increase and air permeability, thermal conductivity, water vapor permeability characteristics decrease. When the effect of the width of diamond pattern compared, it is seen that an increase in the width of pattern lead to an increase in thickness and thermal resistance and a decrease in thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity and water vapor permeability values.Originality/valueMany researches were carried out on the thermal comfort properties of knitted fabrics, however there is a lack of research efforts regarding thermal comfort properties of quilted fabrics.

“…In comparison to the previously reported non-hygroscopic textile antenna, 24 the cotton fabric antenna was found to be comparable in heating performance. Yet, since cotton fabrics offer excellent tensile and tear strength, 26 sensorial comfort 27,28 and abrasion resistance, 29 our newer approach would be more advantageous for intimate apparel integration.…”

As a non-invasive therapeutic modality, microwave hyperthermia has gained increasing prominence in recent breast cancer research. In microwave hyperthermia, the temperature of a cancerous lesion is raised to 39–45°C by microwave irradiation to shrink tumors. Currently available applicators in clinics are aperture antennas (or waveguides) that are bulky and stationary; as such, patients are required to stay in an uncomfortable position for an extended period of time. On this account, this paper introduces the design and characterization of a novel cotton fabric antenna for a truly wearable and patient-friendly breast hyperthermia therapy. The developed antenna, consisting of cotton and copper-plated polyester fabrics, offers flexibility, tenacity, moisture-absorbing properties and breathability desirable for potential integration into intimate apparel. On the other hand, the use of cotton fabric brings about a major concern: moisture is documented to alter the dielectric properties of cotton fabrics and hence could impact the antenna performance. Therefore, for the purpose of concept and design validation, this research investigated the impedance matching and heating performance at three levels (20%, 65% and 80%) of relative humidity (RH). From both simulations and measurements, the RH was found to shift the resonant frequency slightly, but did not critically affect the impedance matching and the heating performance – the measured temperature rises were 4.7–4.9°C and 2.3–2.5°C at the depths of 5 mm and 15 mm, respectively. These theoretical and experimental insights cast light on the feasibility and benefits of moisture-absorbing, cotton-based medical textiles for administration of highly patient-friendly breast hyperthermia.
