Abstract
The thermal conductivity of several high performance woven fabrics at temperatures ranging from −50? to 200? was measured using the hot wire method to explore the relationship between the thermal conductivity and temperature. Data regression of the least squares was used to obtain curves of the thermal conductivity of various fabrics vs. temperature. Results show that the thermal transfer process in woven fabrics is mainly thermal conduction consisting of phonon and molecular conduction. Thermal conductivity as a function of temperature varies as temperature range changes, and is significantly affected by fiber type.
