Abstract:

In order to improve the cooling effect of fabrics and solve the problem that the existing fabric cooling test instruments can not detect the influence of water on the cooling performance of fabrics, two knitted denim cooling fabrics were developed by using high-density polyethylene fiber as loop structure and pure cotton indigo yarn as ground structure, and the cooling performance, moisture absorption and quick drying performance and UV resistance of the fabrics were tested. The visual detection platform of fabric cooling performance was built, and the change of fabric cooling performance after moisture absorption was explored by using water droplets with a certain temperature instead of sweat. The results showed the thermal conductivity of the fabric is significantly improved, the cooling effect is obvious, and the steady-state cooling performance of the fabric is improved. The influence of moisture on the steady-state cool feeling of fabric is greater than that of fiber thermal conductivity. The better the moisture absorption of fabric, the better the steady-state cool feeling effect. After the water droplets are absorbed by the sample fabric, they will diffuse into a regular temperature distribution area on the surface of the fabric.

Key words: cool feeling, unidirectional moisture conduction, high density polyethylene, knitted denim, thermal imaging, thermal conductivity
