Özet
Thermal comfort parameters of knitted fabrics such as thermal resistance and liquid transfer can be enhanced by
combining hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional yarns as double-face fabrics. This study aims to investigate thermal
conductivity (Alambeta Parameters), permeability (air permeability and Permetest Parameters) and liquid management
characteristics of double-face knitted fabrics for which functional yarns such as Thermosoft®, Nilit Heat®, Viloft® and wool
were combined with standard polyester (PET) and polypropylene (PP) by a false rib structure. According to the results of 11
fabrics-s is necessary, Nilit Heat®/PP (inner/outer) fabric has advantages for breathability, warmer sensations as a result of its
minimum thermal absorption, conductivity and diffusion. Wool/PET can be suggested more for liquid management
properties with its branched structure besides its higher thermal resistance and air permeability values. Both structures
including hydrophilic or functional inner surfaces touching the skin can be suggested for a cold protective clothing to enable
stable insulation and dryness.
