Abstract
In this papar, moisture and water transport properties (moisture absorption, moisture desorption, transmission, water absorption, drying and wicking properties) which were considered to relate to wear sensation were measured, and some considerations were carried out along with the results of part 1.
The results are summarized as follows;
1) Moisture sorption contributes to the rise of the humidity in the air layer next to the skin, which influences total amount of sweat governing wear sensations.
2) The rise of the humidity becomes fairly slow when the wind velocity changes from V=0.15m/sec to V=1m/sec. The reason is considered that the apparent diffusion coefficient changes largely, in other words, the absorption, the desorption, the transmission and the drying rates become very large as compared with those at V=0.15 m/sec.
3) A clue to predict the wear sensation from the moisture transport properties of clothing materials was given.
