Warmth Retention Rroperty

In order to test and compare the warmth retention property of Soybean fiber, 4 jersey fabric samples were knitted with soybean yarn, PAN yarn, cotton yarn and wool yarn, respectively. The parameters of samples are listed in Table. 5.

Table.5 Parameters of Samples

The synthesized values of three heat parameters (warmth retaining rate, thermal resistance and thermal transmissivity) of all samples were tested and calculated, as illustrated in Table.6.

Table.6 synthesized values of heat parameters

Table 6 shows that, the warmth retention property of soybean-fiber sample is similar with that of cotton sample, which is better than PAN sample but worse than wool sample.
