Investigation of the Effect of Macro-Layers of Air on the Thermal Insulation Properties of Clothing Assemblies

Abstract

A person's clothing represents a composite sequence of layers made up of textile materials and air. Air layers in clothing are termed microlayers (where material surfaces are in contact with each other) and macrolayers (where material surfaces are not in contact with each other). In the study the heat protective qualities of sets of clothing materials with their air layers were studied so as to select the optimum parameters of macrolayers of air acting as the thermal insulator in the clothing.
