Report on thermal and moisture transport in textiles published

13/10/2006

Irish research company Research and Markets has published a new report entitled ‘Thermal and Moisture Transport in Fibrous Materials’.

The transfer of heat and moisture through textiles is vital to the manufacture and design of clothing, technical and protective textiles. Continued advances in textile processing technology, the growth of manufactured nonwovens and the application of nanotechnology have resulted in a variety of research enabling the characterisation of the behaviour of these materials.

The report is relevant for those involved in the design and manufacture of technical textiles and protective clothing.
