Abstract
In this study the effect of the aminofunctional silicone softeners on fabrics’ heat and moisture transport properties has been investigated by means of Alambeta and Permetest instruments. The silicone treated PES blended fabrics are warmer to the touch, but less comfortable as regards their reduced water‐vapour permeability. The finishing stage of the fabrics has considerable influence on their thermal touch sensation and water‐vapour permeability.
