Abstract
This research work aims to study the association between effects of different fibrous material on thermal comfort properties of woven fabric. The four basic Fibrous Material having same count in weft and warp are studied. Thermal Comfort properties like permeability test, tensile strength, tear strength of all the fabric samples were determined. In our research the ¾ s twill weave structure showed the highest thermal resistance making it suitable for cold climatic conditions.The results showed that the fibrous material has statistically significant correlation with all the selected parameters. This paper presents the thermal properties of different woven fabric structures made from cotton yarns. Each of these yarns wereused to manufacture four types of woven fabric namelyplain,cotton, bamboo, pc and cvc. It was found that the thermal conductivity of woven fabrics generally reduces as the proportion of bamboo fiber increases. For the same fiber blend proportion, the thermal conductivity was lower for fabrics made from finer yarns.
