Comfort properties of Kota Doria fabrics
Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to present comfort properties of bamboo-silk and cotton-silk Kota Doria fabrics.
Design/methodology/approach
Two types of Kota Doria fabrics were manufactured: one from the mixture of silk and bamboo yarns and the other from the mixture of cotton and silk yarns. Air permeability, thermal resistance and moisture management properties were determined.
Findings
Air permeability of bamboo-silk fabric was higher than that of cotton-silk fabric, whereas thermal resistance was less. Moisture management of both the fabrics was almost the same.
