In this study five different knitted sport clothes were tested in a wear trial test with ten mensubject. After the activity, subjects were included in a rest period of 20 minutes. In this period,microclimate temperature and relative humidity values were measured with a datalogger from four bodyregions (chest, abdomen, back and waist). The results showed that the lowest waist microclimatetemperature value was seen in TS tencel single jersey fabric like the other three body regions. On thecontrary to chest and back regions, the abdomen microclimate temperature values increase during therelaxing period. Also the lowest microclimate temperature values were seen in abdomen region. On theother hand the highest microclimate relative humidity values were seen in abdomen region ( 93-96 %)., Bu çalışmada beş farklı spor giysi belirli bir antreman programında 10 erkek deneğe giydirilmiş veaktivite sonrasındaki 20 dakikalık dinlenme periyodunda 4 farklı vücut bölümünün (göğüs, karın, sırt vebel) mikroklima sıcaklık ve bağıl nem değerlerinin ortalamaları verilmiştir. Ayrıca dinlenme periyoduboyunca nabız ve maksimum oksijen tüketimi değerleri nabız ölçer polar saat ve kardiyo solunumfonksiyonları ölçüm cihazı kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Sonuç olarak en düşük mikroklima sıcaklık değeridiğer üç bölgede olduğu gibi bel bölgesinde de TS kodlu tencel süprem kumaş numunesinde görülmüştür.Göğüs ve sırt bölgelerinden farklı olarak karın mikroklima sıcaklık değerlerinin dinlenme periyoduboyunca arttığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca en düşük mikroklima sıcaklık değerleri karın bölgesindegörülmüştür. Diğer yandan en yüksek mikroklima bağıl nem değerleri karın bölgesinde görülmüştür(%93-96).

Diabetes is a chronic disease affecting more than 450 million people throughout the world. One of the most encountered complications of diabetes is diabetic foot. This study aimed to determine the proper fiber type and fabric structure to be used in a preventive sock for diabetic patients. Three fiber types (cotton, acrylic, and polyester) and three fabric structures (jersey, piquet, and terry) were determined for this investigation. Samples were tested for fabric thickness, thermal resistance, air permeability, water vapor permeability, coefficient of friction, abrasion resistance, recovery after compression, and longitudinal elasticity. Acquired data were evaluated, and a preventive sock for diabetic patients was developed accordingly. The developed sock was compared with various diabetic sock samples procured from the market in terms of effectiveness., Ege University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit; [17-MUH-057], ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study was supported by Ege University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit (Project number 17-MUH-057) .

MARMARALI, ARZU/0000-0001-6251-0645; Uzumcu, Memik Bunyamin/0000-0002-5741-1199, WOS: 000501336800014, Mulberry silk is one of the well known silk types. Especially, its lustrous appearance and handle properties make this fiber type an important natural source for textiles. Even if its properties let the fiber to be produced by itself, blending with other fiber types can be preferred in order to reduce raw material costs and make it more affordable. Cotton can be a good companion to this fiber type because of its tendency to be textile material. in this study, mulberry silk/combed cotton blended yarns were produced by using siro and ring spinning systems, in three different yarn counts. These yarns were dyed and then knitted in a laboratory type circular knitting machine. the comfort properties of these fabrics were investigated. According to test results, increasing silk content in the blend and using the siro spinning system positively affected the comfort properties of fabrics, in general.

The discussions around aging provide ideas to explore new solutions for the problems related to the elderly’s quality of life. This research includes a study about clothing and accessories design and production needs for this growing niche of the world’s population. It presents part of the collected results to develop more ergonomic clothing, with special consideration on the ergonomic, thermo physiological and sensorial comfort variables. In particularly, the elderly population dependent of care was the main target of this study. A survey was applied to the caregivers in the cities of Guimaraes (Portugal) and Teresina (Brazil) to better understand their needs and the impact garments and accessories have in their daily tasks. The main goal of this study was to elaborate more comfortable clothing, emphasizing the flexibility, softness, adaptability and adjustability to this changing body., Uminho - Borders(UID/CTM/000264), We would like to acknowledge Federal University of Piaui (UFPI) and Science Center for Textile Technology (2C2T) from University of Minho (UMinho).

Tez (Yüksek Lisans) -- İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2005, Thesis (M.Sc.) -- İstanbul Technical University, Institute of Science and Technology, 2005, Tekstil yazınında giysi konforu olgusu ile ilgili çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Tekstil ürünlerinin giysi konforuna etki eden bütün diğer faktörlerin yanında, kumaşların ıslanma ve kuruma davranışları ayrı bir önem arz eder. Bu çalışmada, birbirlerinden sıkılık, kalınlık, iplik numarası, elastan içeriği, polyester ve pamuk elyafı karışım oranı, gramaj ve terbiye gibi birtakım özellikleri bakımından farklı olan 30 süprem örme kumaş üzerinde ıslanma ve kuruma davranışları incelenmiştir. Deney sonuçları, geçmişteki çalışmaların sonuçlarıyla iyi uyum sergilemektedir., There are many studies about clothing comfort phenomena in textile literature. Besides all the other factors which have effects on clothing comfort of textile products, drying and wicking behavior of fabrics have a different importance. In this study, some tests to investigate these properties of 30 single jersey knit fabrics which are different from eachother in some characteristics such as firmness, thickness, yarn number, lycra content, blend ratio of polyester staple and cotton fibre, mass density, and finishing treatment etc. were conducted. Experimental results showed good correlation with early studies’ results., Yüksek Lisans, M.Sc.

The purpose of this research was to identify nonwoven protective fabrics designed to have improved comfort properties over a fabric currently used in limited-use chemical protective clothing by using physiological and perceptual dimensions of comfort. Fabrics that are both waterproof and breathable have potential for use in chemical protective clothing by repelling liquid while allowing the diffusion of moisture vapor from the body. Microporous laminated fabrics used in chemical protective clothing allow moisture to evaporate from the body and move through the fabric while preventing liquid chemicals from coming in contact with the skin. Five fabric types were evaluated by wear testing coveralls and measuring selected physiological and perceptual responses of five subjects performing moderate-intensity exercise in thermoneutral and hot, humid environments. Physiological responses included skin temperature, body temperature, heart rate, sweat rate, and fluid loss. Perceptual responses included moisture sensation, thermal sensation, Rating of Perceived Exertion, and overall comfort. In the thermoneutral environment, results show heart rate to be the only variable affected by the different fabric types, while time effect was significant within all dependent variables. In the hot, humid environment, skin and body temperatures were significantly affected by fabric type, while time effect was significant within all variables except skin temperature. The environment effect was significant within all dependent variables except RPE and heart rate. Based on the statistical insignificance of subjects' overall comfort responses in both environments, it can be said that the differences in the physical characteristics of the fabrics may not be great enough to affect the wearer's comfort level. However, two of the four fabrics were determined to have potential for further investigation. Further research comparing experimental fabrics with fabrics used widely in industry will continue the effort of improving the comfort of limited-use protective clothing. Master of Science
