| Abstract: | The
thermal comfort characteristics of light weight bamboo-cotton blended apparel
fabrics have been studied in relation to fibre composition, yarn linear density
and spinning mode. The experimental results show that a denser fabric has
higher thermal insulation, higher absorbency and yields higher air and water
vapour permeabilities. The fabrics made from the MJS yarns display considerably
higher air and water vapour permeabilities, higher thermal resistance and lower
wickability as compared to their ring-spun counterparts. With increasing second
jet pressure, the air and water vapour permeabilities improve initially but
deteriorate thereafter as the second jet pressure is further raised beyond a
particular level. Analysis of the fibre-mix reveals that the 70:30
bamboo-cotton fabrics are relatively less air and water vapour permeable, less
thermal resistant and exhibit higher wickability than their 48:52 bamboo-cotton
couples. |
