Each item has a specific role, although intelligent suits do not need to contain all those functions6,77. They all require appropriate materials and structures and must be compatible with the function of clothing comfortable, durable and resistant to regular textile maintenance processes19. 

The thermal and nonthermal aspects of clothing comfort have often been investigated. Several excellent books on these subjects emphasize the physiology, psychology and aesthetics, thermophysical properties, and environmental conditions associated with thermal comfort (23, 37, 38, 39). 

Spencer-Smith critically and thoroughly reviewed the physical basis of clothing comfort in four recent papers and discounted much of the previous work on heat and water vapor transmission through clothing assemblies (69, 70, 71, 72). In the first paper (69), he focuses on the special properties of hygroscopic fabrics such as linen and wool and points out that previous studies demonstrate that their buffering action affords comfort in moving from warm dry atmospheres to cold damp ones...

Coal mines in China are widely distributed, protective clothing for the protection of the coal mine is very important for the safety and health practitioners, the current in coal mine special protective clothing in the process of the management and use, the state-owned key coal mine, local state-owned coal mine and the villages and towns coal mine there are some problems, enterprise to issue some of the protective clothing comfort is poorer, is uncomfortable to wear, or even influence work, cause the employees don t want to use the protective clothing, must cause we attach great importance to these problems.

The effect of gown type on the subjects thermai sensations and clothing comfort sensations were analyzed using separate analyses of variance and Fisher s LSD tests. The thermal resistance values of the gowns and fabrics, the amount of... 

Stomatex was developed by AKZO Nobel it is made of neoprene fabric along with foam insnlation which has many tiny hole-Uke domes which function in a similar way to the transpiration process within a leaf and provide a controlled release of water vapour to make the clothing comfortable (Fig. 2.7 (b)). Stomatex is claimed to... 

Rossi S provided an extensive review of methods to characterise clothing comfort and discussed the thermal and tactile properties of flame retardant garments, with special attention paid to the problem of sweat accumulation in the garments and its influence on thermal protection. Rossi also outlined factors influencing thermal comfort and discussed the protection/comfort contradiction as well as test methods for heat and moisture transfer. 

Clothing comfort provides human comfort including tactile comfort and thermal comfort. 

Methods for the determination of protective clothing have been standardized for both protective function and clothing comfort for different types of protective clothing by various international, national and industrial organizations including International Standard Organisation (ISO), European Standardisation Organisations (CEN), British Standard (BS) and ASTM/AATCC. 

Clothing comfort relates to human feelings of satisfaction when the clothing is seen, touched, or worn by the user. Thermal stress is a particular concern for all protective clothing. The three characteristics of thermal stress in protective clothing are ... 

Both smart materials and structures can be used to achieve physiological comfort of protective clothing. In this chapter, three groups of typical examples of incorporating smart textile technologies into protective clothing to achieve clothing comfort are discussed.
