An Investigation On Air and Thermal Transmission Through Knitted Fabric Structures Using the Taguchi Method

Knitted fabrics have excellent comfort properties because of their typical porous structure. Different comfort properties of knitted fabrics such as air permeability, thermal absorptivity, and thermal conductivity depend on the properties of raw material and knitting parameters. In this paper, an in...
