Abstract

This study investigated the thermal comfort properties of knitted fabrics produced from newly engineered Umorfil® yarns and their blends with Tencel®, wool, acrylic and polyester yarns. Single jersey-knitted fabrics were produced with 50/50% blended yarns (Umorfil®/Tencel®, Umorfil®/wool, Umorfil®/acrylic, and Umorfil®/polyester) and with 100% Umorfil® yarn for comparison. In this regard, the thermal comfort properties (thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity), air permeability, relative water vapour permeability, water absorbency, and wicking characteristics of these fabrics were measured and evaluated statistically. The results revealed that, 100% Umorfil® and 50/50% Umorfil®/Tencel® fabrics provided better characteristics in terms of thermal conductivity, air permeability, water absorbency, wicking behaviours, and colder feelings for the use of fabrics in hot climate products. It is also suggested that owing to the synergistic effect of these two materials, the blend of Umorfil® with Tencel® enhanced the thermal comfort and liquid moisture transmission capacities of the fabrics.

新型工程纱线Umorfil®针织物热舒适性研究

本研究研究了由新设计的Umorfil®纱线及其与天丝®、羊毛、腈纶和涤纶纱线混纺生产的针织物的热舒适性能。单件针织针织针织面料由50/50%混纺纱线(Umorfil®/天丝®、Umorfil®/羊毛、Umorfil®/丙烯酸和Umorfil®/聚酯)和100% Umorfil®纱线生产。为此，对这些织物的热舒适性能(导热系数、热阻、吸热率)、透气性、相对水蒸气渗透性、吸水性和排芯特性进行了测量和统计评价。结果表明，100% Umorfil®和50/50% Umorfil®/天丝®面料在导热性、透气性、吸水性、排汗性能和在高温气候产品中使用面料的冷感方面具有更好的特性。研究还表明，由于这两种材料的协同作用，Umorfil®与天丝®的混纺增强了织物的热舒适性和液体透湿能力。
