<p>This study investigates the thermal comfort properties of synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon, acrylic) and their blends with cotton in three knitted structures: single jersey, single pique, and honeycomb. The air permeability, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and water vapor permeability of the fabrics were systematically evaluated. Results indicate that 100% polyester single jersey fabrics exhibit superior air permeability and water vapor permeability, making them ideal for sportswear. Nylon–cotton blends demonstrate high elasticity and moderate air permeability, suitable for lightweight and durable outdoor gear. Acrylic–cotton blends show the highest thermal resistance and a lower air permeability, making them ideal for cold-weather clothing. Blending synthetic fibers with cotton improves the balance of thermal comfort properties though it slightly reduces air permeability and thermal conductivity. Among the structures, single jersey consistently outperforms single pique and honeycomb in terms of thermal comfort. These findings provide valuable insights for selecting fibers and structures tailored to specific applications, such as sportswear, outdoor gear, and cold-weather clothing.</p>

摘要

This study investigates the thermal comfort properties of synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon, acrylic) and their blends with cotton in three knitted structures: single jersey, single pique, and honeycomb. The air permeability, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and water vapor permeability of the fabrics were systematically evaluated. Results indicate that 100% polyester single jersey fabrics exhibit superior air permeability and water vapor permeability, making them ideal for sportswear. Nylon–cotton blends demonstrate high elasticity and moderate air permeability, suitable for lightweight and durable outdoor gear. Acrylic–cotton blends show the highest thermal resistance and a lower air permeability, making them ideal for cold-weather clothing. Blending synthetic fibers with cotton improves the balance of thermal comfort properties though it slightly reduces air permeability and thermal conductivity. Among the structures, single jersey consistently outperforms single pique and honeycomb in terms of thermal comfort. These findings provide valuable insights for selecting fibers and structures tailored to specific applications, such as sportswear, outdoor gear, and cold-weather clothing.
