... treatment in some natural virgin fibers was highlighted in several studies. The most commonly applied consolidation techniques are thermosetting, needle-punching and the use of binders. The choice of these processes influences key parameters for sound absorption and thermal insulation. Natural and recycled...

...Viju Subramoniapillai; Harish Karthik Deivasigamani Purpose This research aims to focus on the development of thermal insulation materials through the incorporation of aerogels from sugarcane bagasse into nonwoven fabrics prepared from recycled fibrous waste, such as recycled wool, denim shoddy...

... characteristics are thermal insulation and moisture vapour resistance. Design/methodology/approach For this research, four ensembles of clothing were used: one ensemble without hip protective clothing and three ensembles with hip protective clothing. A thermal manikin was used to test the thermal insulation...

... on the effect of fibre denier and the positioning of nonwovens. This paper also discusses the unique properties of fine solid fibre and hollow fibres and their role in providing better thermal insulation for extreme cold weather applications. Thermal insulation Compression recovery Ensemble Multi-layer...

... characteristics such as fabric aerial density, tightness factor, spirality and pilling behaviour were studied and statistically analyzed using Multivariable ANOVA analysis. The comfort characteristics such as thermal insulation behaviour (TIV), water vapour permeability, wicking and air permeability were studied...
