- Abstract
People with increased secretion of sweat constantly deal with the problem of sweating already at low physical strain in various environmental conditions and seek solutions to achieve the desired thermal comfort of garments. Appropriate thermal comfort when wearing clothes can be achieved only with a suitable choice of textiles, an appropriate clothing design and the construction of clothing cutting patterns constituting the garment. This research hence focuses on the influence of fibre composition of knitted clothes and the design of men's sports T-shirts on the thermal physiological comfort of clothes during the process of wearing in terms of thermal and sorption properties. Important parameters to determine thermal comfort are the amount of secreted sweat and the amount of sweat absorbed by clothes. The amount of secreted sweat is influenced by climatic conditions, physical activity of a person and their tendency to perspiration, whereas the amount of sweat absorbed by clothes is influenced by the thermal and sorption properties of knitted clothes, as well as by the openness of clothing. The latter enables ventilation, resulting in a more efficient heat exchange between the body and environment. For the purpose of this research, we tested the following knitted clothes parameters: thermal conductivity (λ), air permeability (Q), water vapour permeability (WVP) and the ability to retain water (WRV). The influence of cuts of men's T-shirts made from knitted fabrics of various fibre composition on the ventilation and comfort was tested on the basis of the amount of secreted sweat (Esw) during the process of wearing as a physiological parameter of a person and the amount of sweat accumulated in the T-shirt (Wsw) as the parameter of knitted clothes sorption properties. The results showed that the fibre composition of knitted clothes and the design of a sports T-shirt substantially influence the amount of sweat accumulated in the T-shirt and in consequence, the comfort during the process of wearing.
