This study reports on an experimental investigation of physical properties on the textile thermal comfort. Textile properties, such as thickness, relative porosity, air permeability, moisture regain, thermal conductivity, drying time and water-vapour transmission rate have been considered and correlated to the thermal and vapour resistance, permeability index, thermal effusivity and moisture management capability in order to determine the overall comfort performance of underwear fabrics. The results suggested that the fibre type, together with moisture regain and knitted structure characteristics appeared to affect some comfort-related properties of the fabrics. Additionally, thermal sensations, temperature and skin wetness predicted by Caseto® software for three distinct activity levels were investigated. Results show that the data obtained from this model in transient state are correlated to the thermal conductivity for the temperature and to Ret, moisture regain and drying time for the skin wetness. This provides potential information to determine the end uses of these fabrics according to the selected activity level.
本研究报告了一项关于纺织品热舒适性物理性能的实验研究。考虑了纺织品的特性，如厚度、相对孔隙率、透气性、回潮率、导热系数、干燥时间和水蒸气传输率，并将其与热阻和水蒸气阻力、透气指数、热扩散率和水分管理能力相关联，以确定内衣面料的整体舒适性能。结果表明，纤维类型以及回潮率和针织结构特征似乎影响了织物的一些与舒适相关的性能。此外，还研究了 Caseto®软件预测的三种不同活动水平下的热感觉、温度和皮肤湿润度。结果表明，该模型在瞬态下获得的数据与导热系数（用于温度）、Ret（回潮率和干燥时间）与皮肤湿润度相关。这为根据所选活动水平确定这些织物的最终用途提供了潜在信息。
