Effect of Fabric Liquid Water Transfer Behavior on Human Thermophysiological Responses and Clothing Microclimate during Exercise and Recover
The textile materials moisture and thermal comfort has attracted lots of researchers involving new materials designing and development in view of enhancing wearers comfort, experimental and theoretical study of heat and moisture transfer through textiles. The present study aimed at exploring the effects of fabric liquid water transfer behavior on human thermophysiological responses and clothing micro climate in order to fill the gap between textile physics of liquid water transfer and distribution and human thermal physiology. Both cotton and polyester fabrics had been treated in two ways to have different liquid water transfer properties. One is moisture management (MM) treatment made the fabrics can transfer liquid water from inside (close to skin) to outside (close to surrounding environment) readily during wearing while keeping inside dry; and another is reversed Moisture Management (RMM) treatment made the fabric reversed property that is inside layer of the fabric are water absorbency but while liquid water is difficult to be transferred outside. For both cotton and polyester, there were two sets of clothing ensembles made of MM and RMM fabric respectively. The microclimate humidity and temperature, subjects skin temperature and ear canal temperature were recorded.
