Description
Summary:The thermal comfort of finished fabric is directly influenced to its capacity of thermo regulation of human skin and allows the perspiration of the human body. A study on effect of Musa acuminata SAP on the thermal comfort performance of the cotton finished fabric has been analyzed. It was evident that the fabric finished with a lower concentration of Musa acuminata SAP and lower temperature at least processing time has improved result in air permeability, water vapor permeability and thermal conductivity of the finished fabrics. It was also observed that the fabric finished with a higher concentration of Musa acuminata SAP and higher temperature at the highest processing time has better performance in the thermal resistance of the fabric.
