| Summary: | A fabric’s moisture/air permeability is a main factor for the fabric design
for advanced applications, and no theoretical model was available in
literature for an optimal permeability. In this paper, we use the
capillary-like effect to elucidate the permeability property, and the effect
of nano/micro particles on the fabric’s surface on the permeability is
studied by the geometric potential theory. Our theoretical analysis shows
that an unclean surface gives a negative impact on the permeability. A
superhydrophobic surface is needed to design a good and lasting moisture/air
permeability. |
