Thermal Absorptivity Model of Knitted Rib Fabric and its Experimental Verification

Abstract: Thermal absorptivity is an indicator of warm and cool feeling of textile materials. An equation based on thermal absorptivity of polyester in solid form, porosity of a fabric, and relative contact area of human skin and fabric surface has been developed to characterize thermal absorptivity of fabric. For verification of suggested model, 15 knitted rib fabrics were produced using 100% polyester yarn and having different surface profile. ALAMBETA semiautomatic non-destructive instrument has been used for measuri… Show more

“…However, thermal contact feelings disappear within several seconds, and when these transient feelings are measured on thin fabrics, then even fabrics with a warm feeling practically cannot provide significant thermal insulation. 12 Contrary to thermal absorptivity, thermal resistance, R [m 2 K/W] is a commonly known steady state parameter of thermal insulation and it depends on fabric thickness h and its thermal conductivity λ [W/m/K], as follows:…”

“…Besides, thermal insulation properties are important factors in assessing the comfort of clothing for users. The Alambeta testing device (Sensora, Liberec, Czech Republic) was used to determine the thermal insulation properties of the basic and modified basalt fabrics [25,26] when they are the clothing components. The performed test relies on measuring the amount of heat penetrating the tested sample-the fabric, which is placed between the upper plate with a temperature of 35 • C (it should more or less correspond to the human skin temperature) and the lower plate reaching the ambient temperature.…”

“…Thermal absorptivity is the parameter that allows to draw conclusions about the sensation of heat/cold provided upon first contact with the materials. 7,40 Thus, high values of thermal absorptivity mean that the fabrics may suggest a fresh touch feeling. Nevertheless, this property is also related to the structure and composition of the fabric.…”

“…The increase in the contact area, in turn, allows a greater amount of heat to pass through the fabric, producing, consequently, a greater sensation of freshness when the contact with its surface occurs. 40 Therefore, the regularity of the surface of the functionalized material will influence its thermal properties. The finished samples, when compared with the untreated cotton samples, presented higher conductivity and absorptivity and lower thermal resistance, modifying their properties.…”
