The physical properties of the surface of apparel made from flax and polyester fibres

Abstract

In this paper, the clothes made of synthetic and natural fibres were tested. The characteristics of selected physical parameters such as temperature, electrical resistance, thermal resistance of fabrics used for tested clothes have been presented. The electrostatical charge and temperature distribution of clothes were investigated on human body. The temperature distribution and the coefficient of heat transmission were measured by a new thermovision method.
