  Abstract

The aim of this study was to measure the functional properties of a nanofiber web laminate, microporous film laminate, and nonporous coating fabric and then compare their performances as a breathable waterproof fabric. We focused on the performance of the nanofiber web laminate as a breathable waterproof fabric. A PU nanofiber web was prepared by electrospinning. The measured functional properties included the water vapor permeability, air permeability, waterproofness, adhesive strength, and water vapor resistance, as well as the property of a warm/cool feeling. The measurement results showed that the nanofiber web laminate fabric provided excellent moisture permeability as well as sufficient waterproofness and water vapor resistance in comparison to the microporous film laminate and nonporous coating fabric. We concluded that the performance of the nanofiber web laminate is sufficient for use as cloth in outdoor wear if an optimum electrospinning and lamination process is used in its production.
