Opracowanie konstrukcji bazowej dla aktywnych układów materiałów tekstylnych przeznaczonych na odzież ciepłochronną

Protective clothing is one of the methods for a reduction of excess heat losses from the human body during the work in cold environment. However, this kind of clothing is characterized by constant, passive thermal insulation which does not ensure appropriate protection in varied working environment conditions resulting from e.g. variable ambient temperature or physical activity level. Active clothing protecting against cold that is characterized by changeable thermal properties allowing to limit worker’s thermal stress in a cold environment can be a solution for this problem. However, despite recently observed dynamical progress in this scope, there is still a need for further research aimed at optimization of developed solutions. Hence, the aim of this publication is a development of a base structure for active textile systems intended for clothing protecting against cold that will ensure an increased range of possible thermal insulation changes in a comparison to solutions already presented in the literature.
