“…Knitted fabrics have a good stretch property which offer better conformability and avoid excessive pressure between the garment and body [2]. Thermal comfort property of the textile fabric mainly depends on the heat and moisture transmission through the fabric [3]. Heat can be transferred by conduction from the solid fibres and entrapped air between the fibres, convection and radiation [4].…”

Thermal property of clothing has significant impact on thermal comfort of the wearers. In an extreme working condition body releases a lot of heat and sweat, in order to keep the body dry and at normal temperature these heat and sweat should be released in the environment. The thermal comfort of the fabrics mainly depends on how well it transmits heat and moisture to the environment. In this work finite element models have been developed to predict the thermal conductivity of plain weft knitted fabrics. Fabrics with different stitch density and yarn count were used in this work. A unit cell model of the fabrics was developed by using the actual geometrical parameters. Material orientation of the yarn was used for assigning the thermal conductivity of each element in the yarn. Boundary conditions were applied on unit cell of the fabrics for the determination of thermal conductivity. The geometrical models of the fabrics were generated by a plug-in which was developed in Abaqus/computer aided engineering using Python script. It has been found that thermal conductivity between the predicted results obtained from finite element analysis and experimental results from an in-house developed device is highly correlated. Furthermore, the application of geometrical model in different areas has been discussed, and technique is developed for the prediction of effective thermal conductivity of plain weft knitted composite fabric.

“…Due to use surface resistance test principle, the MMT system can be suitable for the hydraulic conductivity characterization of small-capacity conductive sweat in the fabric surface, and used for unidirectional perspire measurement in sportswear [9]. However, the interaction between textile and liquid requires representation not only of limited liquid system, but more research and characterization of relatively unlimited liquid systems, especially for the thermal comfort of textile [10].…”

Wetting behavior of a clothing assembly plays an important role in thermophysiological body comfort. The instruments and methods utilised for testing purposes should adequately quantify wetting parameters of fabric thermal comfort. The surface conductivity method has been used to for moisture management testing in fabrics, but that method cannot give the detailed information for fiber-liquid interaction. With the new near-infrared scattering method, the wetting mechanism is introduced and interpreted through liquid transfer process from an infinite liquid reservoir. Wetting results from two kinds of fabrics show the difference in fabric thermal comfort.

“…The resulting polymer is then extruded through a spinneret by melt spinning. Manshahia and Das [178] investigated the thermophysiological comfort properties of knitted fabrics made of polyester staple fiber yarns and elastane monofilaments. The results showed that the air permeability and moisture-vapor permeability index of the fabrics were negatively influenced by the increase in linear density of the elastane filaments, possibly due to the associated increase in fabric tightness and density.…”

Thermophysiological comfort is a crucial aspect of human life, contributing to health and work performance. The current paper aims to enhance the understanding of current research, progress, and remaining challenges regarding clothing thermophysiological comfort from a textile science perspective. It provides a comprehensive review of several facets of clothing thermophysiological comfort, focusing on the history of thermophysiological comfort prediction models, heat and moisture transfer mechanisms in the skin–clothing–environment system, controlling factors of thermophysiological comfort, textile materials for superior thermophysiological comfort, and thermal comfort assessment techniques. The paper shows that previously developed thermophysiological comfort models were mainly based on the human thermoregulation process. However, the effect of the air gap size between the human skin and the cloth layer, i.e., the microclimate, on the heat and moisture transfer in the skin–clothing–environment system has been largely overlooked. In addition, thermophysiological comfort models of skin–clothing–environment systems generally only considered dry thermal resistance and evaporative resistance, yet many other fabric properties have effects on human thermophysiological comfort. Potential future directions are identified to fill some of the current gaps. A conceptual model of clothing comfort to contribute to a better understanding of thermophysiological comfort is also proposed.
