  Abstract

The Skin Model is modified with a frame in order to model the microclimate which is present between the skin and the clothing. The aim of the study is to design and instrument the system by allowing dynamic control of moisture management as a function of time. Resistive humidity sensors are placed at 4 locations in the frame to measure the transfer rate of water molecules through the fabric layer. After checking the reproducibility of measurement, the influence of physical parameters (weight, thickness, moisture regain and fabric design) and thermo-hydric characteristics of fabrics (air permeability, wetting time, one-way transport index, thermal resistance and water vapour permeability) on the transfer rate is analyzed by applying a multiple linear regression. The statistical analysis suggests that one of the main parameters significantly affecting the moisture management is the moisture regain of the fabrics related to its chemical composition, since high fabric moisture regain values lead to low water vapor transfer through the layer. Furthermore, the textile design (1
