Investigation on Influence of Blend Proportion on Comfort Characteristics of Bamboo/Lotus Knitted Fabrics
The thermal comfort properties of fabrics produced from bamboo, lotus, and their blends were tested to find the ability of the fabric to manage the body heat generated. To assess the thermal comfort properties of the fabrics, the air permeability, water vapor permeability, thermal conductivity, and...

| description | The thermal comfort properties of fabrics produced from bamboo, lotus, and their blends were tested to find the ability of the fabric to manage the body heat generated. To assess the thermal comfort properties of the fabrics, the air permeability, water vapor permeability, thermal conductivity, and thermal resistance were evaluated. It is observed from the results that the thickness and mass per square meter of the fabrics reduced as the blend proportion of lotus fiber increased in the yarn. Also, from the results, it could be clearly noted that air permeability, water vapor permeability, and thermal conductivity increased, and the thermal resistance got reduced as the proportion of lotus component increased. Hence, lotus-blended fabrics are more suitable for thermal management summer wear. |
