Water-Resistant and Vapor-Permeable Material Based on Electrospun Fluoroplastic Membranes for Special Purpose Textile Items

Abstract

Membrane-coated cloth items are very highly varied and include clothes and shoes for active vacations and tourism; special clothing for workers, firemen, and medical workers; military uniforms; and household (furniture fabrics) and technical (tents) items. They all should satisfy claimed requirements, e.g., protection from adverse environmental effects and removal from the space underneath the clothing of metabolic products and excessive moisture and heat depending on the load. The present article focused on the structural effect of an electrospun membrane and the composition of the glue layer on the operational properties of textile composites.
