Thermophysiological wear comfort of viscose and tencel socks

Projektirane su i izrađene muške čarape u višestruko platirnom desno-lijevom prepletu s viskoznom i tencel pređom finoće 20 tex, multifilamentnom PA 6.6 pređom finoće 156 i 220 dtex i pamučnom pređom finoće 25 tex. Određena je masa, debljina, visina tijela, duljina stopala, polovica opsega tijela i polovica opsega stopala čarape. Određena je termofiziološka udobnost čarapa mjerenjem otpora prolazu topline na termalnom stopalu. Rezultati su pokazali da uzorci čarapa koji u strukturi imaju prstenastu pređu imaju veći otpor prolazu topline u odnosu na uzorke sa rotorskom i aerodinamičkom pređom. Dobivena razlika otpora prolazu topline uzoraka čarapa po tipu bazne pređe je značajna. Najveći otpor prolazu topline imaju viskozne čarape izrađene iz prstenastih pređa uz dodatak grublje pamučne i PA 6.6. pređe, dok najmanji otpor imaju čarape iz tencel rotorske pređe.Men’s socks were designed and manufactured in multiple plated single jersey structure using 20 tex viscose and Tencel yarn, 156 and 220 dtex multifilament PA 6.6 yarn and 25 tex cotton yarn. Sock mass and sock thickness were determined, the height of the sock leg, the length of the sock foot and half of the leg circumference and half of the foot circumference were measured. Thermophysiological sock wear comfort was determined by measuring thermal resistance on the thermal foot manikin. The results revealed that the sock samples containing the ring spun yarn in the structure had higher thermal resistance than the socks containing rotor and air-jet spun yarns. The obtained difference of thermal resistance of the sock samples per type of the basic yarn was significant. The viscose socks made of ring spun yarns with an added coarser cotton yarn and PA 6.6 yarn had the highest thermal resistance, while the lowest thermal resistance was recorded for the Tencel rotor spun yarns
