Inventory of the Thermo-Physiological Behavior of Fabrics—A Review

A comprehensive literature review was performed to create an inventory of thermal-physiological quantities for fabrics from different fiber materials, material blends, and fabric structures. The goal derive over-arching concepts that cannot be seen by the individual studies alone. Equations best fits suggest non-linear changes thickness, thermal water-vapor resistance with in blend ratio. Air permeability decreases increasing density weight wherein degree decrease differs among ratio, structure. Water-vapor transmission rates strongly depend on material, blend, but marginally structure as long thickness remain same.
