The Effect of Thermal Storage/Release and Moisture Transport Properties of Polyethylene Glycol-Treated Acrylic Athletic Socks on the Wear Performance
Polyethylene Glycol 처리한 아크릴 운동용 양말의 축열 . 방열성과 수분전달 특성이 착용 성능에 미치는 영향
Abstract
The purpose of this study was 1) to estimate the improvement of thermal storage/release and moisture transport properties of PEG-treated acrylic athletic socks and suggest the optimum add-on for PEG treatment, 2) to investigate wear performance of untreated cocks and two kinds of socks treated with PEG of minimum and optimum add-on respectively, and 3) to consider the effect of thermal storage/release and moisture transport properties of PEG- treated socks on the wear performance and the subjective comfort zone. Thermal activities of specimens treated by PDC were evaluated on a DSC by measuring the heat of fusion on heating and the heat of crystallization on cooling. Moisture regain, absorption speed, wickability, water retenti on value, and water-vapor permeability were measured. In the wear trials that the subjects performed a subsequent exercise protocol wearing three differently treated socks in a conditioned environment (
