Thermophysiological Comfort Properties of Polyamide Pantyhose

Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2019, Vol 27, Issue 5

Abstract

In this paper, the thermophysiological characteristics of low weight knitted polyamide and polyamide/elastane fabrics for pantyhose differing in terms of filament count were studied. Alambeta and Permetest devices were used to measure the thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity, evaporative resistance and relative water vapour permeability. The results indicated that fabrics made of finer filaments have lower thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity and evaporative resistance values.<br/><br/>
