... of the mass per unit area (M [g/m²]), the thickness of the fabric (t_h [m]) and the density of the fibre (ρ [g/m³]) (Ogulata and Mavruz, 2010). The structural parameters properties of the four used fabrics are presented in Table 1 . Water vapour resistance Mass...

...Wenbin Li; Yunjing Jiang; Peiqing Jiang; Xin Wang Purpose The mass transfer of textiles during movement is complicated as the energy consumption (EC) from skin, surface temperature of fabrics together with environment will work synergistically to determine the sensation and comfort of wearer...

... and furnishing but also, eventually, for other applications such as building. Actually, the clothing should ensure appropriate heat and mass transfers between the human body and its environment in order to maintain the thermo-physiological comfort. For that, it is important to determine water vapor permeability...
