Abstract:
This study examined the water repellency (WR), waterproof, and water vapor permeability (WVP) characteristics of twelve types of laminated and coated woven fabrics for outdoor clothing. These characteristics were compared with the fabric structural parameters, such as cover factor, thickness, and weight, and surface modification (finishing) factors, such as coating, laminating, and Teflon treatments. In addition, an eco-friendly process for surface modification was proposed followed by a summary. Superior waterproof-breathable characteristics with 100% water-repellency were achieved in specimen 3 in group A by treatment with a hydrophilic laminated finish using nylon woven fabric with a cover factor between 0.7 and 0.9 in a 2.5-layered fabric, which was the best specimen with waterproof-breathable characteristics. A high WVP in the coated and laminated fabrics was observed in the fabrics with a low weave density coefficient (WDC) and low thickness per unit weight of the fabric, whereas superior water repellency and waterproof characteristics were observed in the high-cover-factor (WDC) fabric with appropriate fabric thickness. The determination coefficient (R2) from regression analysis between the WVP and fabric structural parameters indicated a higher contribution of the fabric structural parameters than surface modification factors, such as coating and laminating to the WVP in the coated and laminated fabrics. Furthermore, the cover factor was the most important factor influencing the WVP of the waterproof-breathable fabrics. Of twelve coated and laminated fabrics, the laminated nylon and nylon/cotton composite fabrics showed superior WVP with high WR and waterproof characteristics. Accordingly, based on the WR, waterproof, and WVP characteristics of the coated and laminated breathable fabrics, the laminating method, as an eco-friendly process, is recommended to obtain better waterproof-breathable fabrics.

Abstract:
This work reports waterproof breathable layered fabrics consisting of simple fabric weave types (plain, twill) and microporous breathable films. The pretreated fabrics were treated with water-repellent finishing chemicals. Afterwards, layered structures were generated by bringing the fabrics and the microporous breathable films together. According to the results of water repellency, hydrostatic pressure (water resistancy) and water vapor permeability tests conducted on the samples with/without microporous film layers, waterproof breathable layered fabrics were able to be generated, which are supposed to be used as construction materials.

Abstract:
The effect of atmospheric conditions on the water vapour permeability characteristics of waterproof breathable fabrics has been studied. Several types of waterproof breathable fabrics were tested for vapour permeability under a wide range of atmospheric temperatures and relative humidities. It was found that atmospheric conditions have a considerable effect on the vapour permeability characteristics and that there are differences in behaviour between the various types of fabric. The two main variables influencing vapour permeability are identified. Regression equations for the relationship between vapour permeability and the main atmospheric parameter are presented. Conclusions are drawn about the capabilities of the fabrics under conditions of use.

Abstract:
Breathable layered waterproof fabrics have good applications in the fields of sportswear, protective clothing and construction industries. The properties of these fabrics in allowing water vapour to pass through while preventing liquid water from entering have made them unique. The mechanical properties of these fabrics are also very important for the satisfaction of the wearers. The layered constructions of these fabrics with different characteristic properties contribute to the influence on their hydrostatic resistance, mechanical properties and water vapour permeability. This study presents an experiment on eight different types of hydrophobic and hydrophilic membrane laminated layered fabrics used as sportswear during hot or cold weather. The hydrostatic resistance, tensile strength, stiffness and water vapour permeability of these fabrics were evaluated by varying different fabric parameters in the experiment. It was found from the test results that the fabric density, thickness and weight as well as types of membranes and layers have a significant effect on those properties of the layered fabrics.

Abstract:
An ideal fabric for outdoor garments should possess several critical properties, principally water and windproofness, permeability to water vapour, durability and good drape. Attempts to combine these properties in one product have involved a diversity of constructional approaches so that resulting products function by very different mechanisms. The paper discusses the principal current product constructions and outlines the principles by which they function. Performance of fabrics for outdoor garments is then reviewed, with emphasis on water vapour permeability, waterproofness, and abrasion reistance of various product types. Fabrics which are composites of textiles with PU or PTFE microporous membranes are shown to have the best combination of water vapour permeability and waterproofness. Composites of textiles with solid hydrophilic films are less permeable though they are more resistant to abrasion. A microporous PU membrane, Porelle(R) * , affords a combination of functional and mechanical properties which makes it well suited for use in textile composites for waterproof and breathable outdoor garments. Physiological and echnical requirements of such garments are met very adequately by the use of Porelle(R) * composites.

Abstract:
The demand for waterproof breathable fabrics is increasing globally and so are efforts to develop such garments. In this paper, the development of a waterproof breathable textile by coating a double face knitted fabric is described. The applied polymeric coating is a mixture of an acrylic paste and a fluorocarbon resin. The aim of this study was the investigation of the breathability and waterproofness of the coated samples. The coating was made of industrialized chemical products and did not require water use. The screen coating process wastewater was also reduced. Three parameters related to the coating process were analyzed and optimized. These parameters were the fluorocarbon resin quantity (%), acrylic paste quantity (g·m−2), and reticulation time (min). The analyzed responses were the air permeability, windproofness, water vapor permeability, and resistance to water penetration. The optimized values of air permeability and water vapor permeability were equal to 154.81 L·m−2·s−1 and 83.852%, respectively. These values were judged acceptable when compared with commercialized products. The windproofness and the resistance to water penetration were equal to 161.81 L·m−2·s−1 and 78.51 Schmerber, respectively. Thus, both responses still need to be improved in order to obtain waterproofness properties. Based on the obtained results, the coated fabric can be used as a laminate outer layer for producing waterproof breathable fabrics.

At present, the development of domestic waterborne polyurethane in dry coating is mostly used in adhesives, and in the textile application mainly for processing aids. The progress of the development of waterborne polyurethane is slow. As a result of composition, resulting in lower hydrostatic pressure test. We have to improve water vapor permeability and hydrostatic pressure test technology so it’s necessary to understand the key factors of water resin dry film forming properties and establish waterborne polyurethane film coating control factors. In the future, enhance the use of water-based polyurethane reference indicators can promote the competitiveness of the industry. With these researches the major purpose is to use waterborne polyurethane coating on fabrics let the fabrics have the advantage with permeability and water resistance. In this research, we can make the better recipes and working conditions for the small amount production and the stable reference conditions for manufacturing. Moreover, these high performances of breathable fabrics maintain the competitive advantage in high class of textiles.

Abstract:
In addition to their traditional role in garment manufacture, textile fibres are being developed to perform advanced functions, providing novel and innovative applications. Examples are fibres that can act as sensors, respond to environmental conditions or have slow or controlled-release capability and the chemistries behind these capabilities are discussed. Also in this chapter, the chemistry of functions such as temperature-, pH- and bio-responsive fibres is explained, together with the chemistry of breathable, waterproof fabrics, thermoregulating and slow-/controlled-release fibres. Fabrics with novel properties such as self-cleaning capability, shape-memory functions and energy harvesting properties are also discussed.
