ABSTRACT

Comfort is an aspect and is considered as one of the important characteristics of clothing. Generally, the comfort properties can be distinguished into three categories, viz., thermo-physiological comfort, sensorial comfort, and psychological comfort. Thermo-physiological comfort of a fabric is determined by the ability of the fabric to transmit heat, air, and moisture from the skin to the atmosphere. Fabric made of synthetic fibers has convincing comfort properties when compared with the fabrics made of natural fibers like cotton, silk, wool, etc. When natural fibers are compared with synthetic fibers, synthetic fibers are hydrophobic in nature and provides less comfort to the wearer. Hence, in this research work, an attempt has been made to study the thermo-physiological comfort properties of herbal finished woven fabrics made from synthetic fibers coated with neem and bermudagrass. Herbal finishes were applied on the woven fabrics made from 100% polyester and blends of 50:50 polyester, acrylic fibers. These finished fabrics were tested and analyzed for durability and essential thermo-physiological comfort properties. Based on the test results and analysis it was found that significant improvements in the moisture-related properties and moderate decrease in the thermal conductivity of the synthetic fabrics with neem and bermudagrass herbal finish.

摘要

舒适度是一个方面，被认为是服装的重要特征之一。一般来说，舒适度可以分为三类，即热生理舒适度、感官舒适度和心理舒适度。织物的热生理舒适性取决于织物将热量、空气和水分从皮肤传递到大气的能力。与由棉、丝、羊毛等天然纤维制成的织物相比，由合成纤维制成的织物具有令人信服的舒适性。与合成纤维相比，天然纤维具有疏水性，对穿着者的舒适度较低。因此，在本研究工作中，已经尝试研究由涂有印楝和百慕大草的合成纤维制成的草本整理织物的热生理舒适特性。由 100% 涤纶和 50:50 涤纶、丙烯酸纤维的混合物制成的机织织物上涂有草本饰面。对这些成品织物进行了耐久性和基本热生理舒适性测试和分析。根据测试结果和分析，发现印楝和狗牙根草本整理的合成织物的湿气相关性能显着改善，热导率适度降低。对这些成品织物进行了耐久性和基本热生理舒适性测试和分析。根据测试结果和分析，发现印楝和狗牙根草本整理的合成织物的湿气相关性能显着改善，热导率适度降低。对这些成品织物进行了耐久性和基本热生理舒适性测试和分析。根据测试结果和分析，发现印楝和狗牙根草本整理的合成织物的湿气相关性能显着改善，热导率适度降低。
