An account is given of the determination of the thermophysiological properties of two blankets, one made from wool and the other from an acrylic-fibre-cotton blend but otherwise matched in weight and fibre diameter, by laboratory measurements as well as by climatic-chamber tests with human subjects. The tests show that the blanket made from wool confers a higher degree of thermal insulation and possesses better moisture-transport properties under stationary conditions, combined with better moisture absorbance and buffering capacity under transient conditions, than the blanket made from the acrylic-fibre-cotton blend. Consequently, in the climatic-chamber tests under warm and humid conditions, the test persons subjectively preferred the woollen blanket for its thermophysiological comfort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
