Wetting behavior of a clothing assembly plays an important role in
thermophysiological body comfort. The instruments and methods utilised for
testing purposes should adequately quantify wetting parameters of fabric
thermal comfort. The surface conductivity method has been used to for
moisture management testing in fabrics, but that method cannot give the
detailed information for fiber-liquid interaction. With the new near-infrared
scattering method, the wetting mechanism is introduced and interpreted
through liquid transfer process from an infinite liquid reservoir. Wetting
results from two kinds of fabrics show the difference in fabric thermal
comfort.
