 Full text | references | Abstract: The aim of this study was the analysis of the thermal resistance of upper textile materials combined with leather or textile linings. Following a comparative analysis of the combinations of materials tested, the best insulators werre recommended. Footwear material packages were created on the basis of the analysis of hygienic properties of textile and leather materials,which were available on the market. Hygienic properties like water vapour permeability and water vapour absorption gave information about the possibility to apply these materials from a microclimate point of view. |
