Abstract

The permeability of fiber-based materials and general medical textiles is very important, and it is commonly believed that air permeability and water permeability are correlated. This property is expressed as the breathability of the material. Knowing the air permeability is helpful in predicting the water vapour permeability as well, but whether this really works for textiles at different pressures and humidities still needs to be explored. In this study, this hypothesis is examined, and it is discovered that this phenomenon does not show significant corelation. Moreover, the non-standardised unit of measurement of breathability makes the comparison much more complex in terms of textiles. The articles focuses on any possible relationship between the air and water vapour permeability of textiles.
Keywords: medical textiles; air permeability; water vapour; resistance; breathability medical textiles; air permeability; water vapour; resistance; breathability
