omfort relates to sub+ective perception of various sensations.

omfort involves many aspects of human senses such as visual &aesthetic comfort', thermal

&comfort and warmth', pain &prickling and itching' and touch &smooth, rough, soft and stiff'.

he sub+ective perceptions involve a psychological process in which all relevant sensory

perceptions are formulated, weighed, combined and evaluated against past e(periences and

present desires to form an overall assessment of comfort status.

he body-clothing interactions &thermal and mechanical' play important roles in determining the

comfort status of the wearer.

$(ternal environment &physical, social and cultural' has a great impact on the comfort status of

the wearer.

. !rite the basic elements of clothin" comfort.

roadly there are four basic elements of clothing comfort, namely thermo/physiological aspect,sensorial or tactile aspect, physiological aspect and fitting comfort

. !hy comfort is needed#

1/. !hat do you mean by 0hysiolo"ical omfort#

It refers to maintenance of thermal balance of body.

he proper relationship between body heat production and loss and also concerns about the heat

and moisture transmission characteristics through clothing.

It"s also called asthermo/physiological comfort i.e. transmission of heat, air, and moisture &liquid

and vapour'.

11. (tate the 0sycholo"ical omfort

It means that individuals need specific garments, fabrics, colors and design features to help them feel

confident and at ease within the conte(t of the various roles they assume.

12. !hat is (kin sensorial wear comfort and r"onomic wear comfort#

#kin sensorial wear comfort. his deals with the mechanical sensations caused by te(tiles as it is

in direct contact with the skin. %leasant and unpleasant perceptions such as smoothness or

softness, scratchiness, stiffness, or clinging to sweat/wetted skin may be created by te(tiles.

$rgonomic wear comfort. his is characterised by the fit of the clothing and the freedom of

movement it allows. he garment0s construction and the elasticity of the materials are the main

aspect of ergonomic wear comfort.

1$. (tate the function of clothin" in human life

o protect the body against an unsuitable physical environment by forming a layer or layers of

barrier.

lothing serves several functions in human life such as decoration, social status, protection andmodesty.

1'. !hat are processes in&ol&ed the comfort process#

%hysical processes in clothing and surrounding environments,

%hysiological processes in the body,

2europhysiological and

%sychological processes

1*. !hy clothin" is called as thermal barrier#

he clothing protects the wearer from the environmental hazards for which it has been designed,

whether they are heat, cold, fire, to(ic agents or any other thing

3t the same time the clothing does some adverse things to the wearer, e.g. by unwanted thermalinsulation when it is not required, or by hindering the free evaporation of sweat from skin.

1,. !rite &arious mechanisms applied for effecti&e heat transmission.

3ll the metabolic heat produced should be carried to the inner body surface &inner layer of skin'

by the effective circulation of sweat4

he skin should be able to generate the necessary amount of sweat4

he generated sweat should get transmitted effectively &in liquid as well as in &apour form'

through clothing ensemble.

1. !hat do you mean by multi layer clothin" system#

hese layers are generally of three types, i.e. inner layer, middle layer&s' and outer layer.
