Abstract
With the improvement in people's quality of life, the requirements for clothing are becoming more and more comprehensive. In the past, people paid more attention to the durability of clothing and the beauty of style. Nowadays, more and more people pay attention to the function and comfort of clothing, especially its thermal comfort performance. The thermal comfort of clothing is an interdisciplinary subject that studies the relationship between the human body, clothing, and the environment. The heat transfer performance of the clothing is an important indicator to describe the heat exchange between the human body and the environment. The main directions of clothing heat transfer performance research include textile materials, clothing styles, human body factors, and the influence of environmental factors on its heat transfer performance. This article will mainly analyze how textile materials’ structure affects the heat transfer performance of clothing. Due to the diversity and complexity of textile materials, this paper only analyzes and discusses the structure of textile materials that affect the heat transfer performance of clothing. It will include the fineness of the fiber, the cross-sectional shape of the fiber, the fineness of the yarn, the twist turns of the yarn, the loop length of yarn, the structure of the fabric, and the structural parameters of the fabric.
