Figure 5(b). A higher value of thermal conductivity
indicates a faster heat transfer from one side of fabric
to the other surface, which is usually associated with a
cooler feeling when the fabric is used in clothing. Figure
5(b) shows that the elastic honeycomb fabrics (1s–3s)
have the highest values of thermal conductivity and the
pure cotton honeycomb fabrics (1c–3c) have the lowest
related values.The thermal conductivity of fabric
depends on several factors, including fabric thickness
and the amount of air trapped in the fabric, as well as
the air behavior within the fabric.
