Removing the sweat from skin depends on porosity and wicking characteristics of clothing.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:To remove the wetness sensation due to sweating, clothing fabric should not only let sweat which is accumulated on skin lessen by evaporation but also make liquid sweat spread as far as possible.
📊
Key Findings & Data:This property which is so-called wicking is a necessity for comfort and developed from the natural process which causes water transport from root to leaves within a plant, also assures sweat absorbency and fast drying.

Abstract

To remove the wetness sensation due to sweating, clothing fabric should not only let sweat which is accumulated on skin lessen by evaporation but also make liquid sweat spread as far as possible. This property which is so-called wicking is a necessity for comfort and developed from the natural process which causes water transport from root to leaves within a plant, also assures sweat absorbency and fast drying. Removing the sweat from skin depends on porosity and wicking characteristics of clothing.

Özet

Terden kaynaklanan ıslaklık hissinin ortadan kaldırılması için, giysiyi oluşturan kumaşın vücut yüzeyindeki teri buhar yoluyla uzaklaşmasına izin verir yapıda olması yanında, aktivite sonrası kumaşta biriken, vücutla temas halindeki sıvı teri de mümkün olduğunca dağıtarak uzaklaştırması gerekir. Konfor için istenen bu ter emicilik ve çabuk kuruma özellikleri, bir ağacın köklerindeki suyu en uçtaki yapraklarına kadar iletmesini sağlayan "kapilar (kılcal) kanal" doğa olayından esinlenerek geliştirilmiştir.Terin uzaklaşması giysilerin gözenekliliğine ve kılcallık karakteristiğine bağlıdır.
