About the Heat and Moisture Properties of Fabrics – 6 Prerequisites that must be Known for Garment Development
In the environmental elements, the greater impact on human comfort is temperature and humidity, and the human body needs to wear different clothes in different environments. Therefore, the study of the human body, clothing, temperature, and humidity of their respective characteristics and interrelationships, is the fundamental basis for our understanding of the heat and moisture comfort of fabrics , which I will discuss in the following six areas. Why do we study temperature and humidity together? Temperature, a physical quantity that indicates the degree of heat or cold of an object, in microscopic terms, is the intensity of the thermal motion of an object’s molecules. Humidity, also known as “relative humidity”, is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount of water vapor that air can contain. This percentage content varies with temperature, with warm air containing more water vapor and cold air containing less. Completely dry ...
