IR and UV Protective Function of Woven Fabrics
Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
Nowadays, it is well known that exposure to ultraviolet radiation can have harmful effects. These effects include mainly sunburn (erythema) and tanning (pigment darkening), as well as premature aging of the skin, suppression of the immune system, damage to the eyes, and skin cancer. Currently, between 2 and 3 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer and 132 000 cases of melanoma skin cancer occur globally each year. Fabric is the most basic and one of the best means of sun protection, however not all fabrics offer sufficient UV protection. In hot weather conditions, the use of UV-resistant materials is not enough. At the same time, a thermophysiological wear comfort is also desired, so clothing should be made from fabrics that protect the body against penetration and absorption of infra-red radiation. The proposed paper describes the influence of fabric constructional parameters on IR and UV radiation transmittance.
