The warmth retention property, air permeability, moisture permeability and moisture absorption performance were tested and analyzed. The results showed that the thickness, fiber composition, density and blending ratio of women's socks all have a certain impact on the thermal-wet comfort of women's socks. Approximate optimal comprehensive judgment method was used to make a comprehensive evaluation of the thermal-wet comfort of women's socks, and sort the thermal-wet comfort of women's socks, which provided theoretical reference for the study of thermal-wet comfort of women's socks. 1. Introduction In recent years, with the development of clothing industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standard, people has higher requirement for clothing comfort, and clothing comfort has become one of the most important features to evaluate garment. The research scopes of clothing comfort include pressure comfort, touch comfort and thermal-wet comfort mainly (Meng and Zhang (2006)). About thermal-wet comfort, many researches focused on the thermal comfort of all kinds of industries (Cannistraro et al (2015), Seth et al (2015), Hassan (2015)). As one of the commonest close-fitting clothing, at present, the existed researches about socks mainly focused on the pressure comfort of the top part of sock at home and abroad, and the study of thermal-wet comfort of sock was relatively less, therefore, it was necessary to study the thermal -wet comfort of sock(Dan et al (2011)). Through market research, the commonest s everal women's socks on the market were selected as research objects in this study and the thermal-wet comfort of women's sock was evaluated. The results provided references for the design and development of women's sock and consumers’ purchase, which has important significance. 2. Experiment 2.1 Experimental materials At present, most of the common women's socks on the market were weft plain. In this research, the commonest 5 women's socks on the market were selected as research objects, whose raw materials and blended ratio were different. The specification parameter of samples selected was listed in table 1.

And the thermal conductivity of 4# women's sock was the biggest, so its warmth retention property was the worst. The warmth retention property in the middle of the list was 2 #, 3 # and 5 # women's socks. This phenomenon was mainly caused by the fiber composition and thickness of women's socks. The proportion of cotton fiber of 1 # women's sock was the highest and the content of cotton fiber of 1 # women's sock was much more than that of other women's socks. The warmth retention property of cotton fiber was good was the main reason that the warmth retention property of 1# women's sock was the best. The thermal conductivity of 4# women's sock was the biggest because 4# women's sock contained nylon fiber whose warmth retention property was bad. The thickness of women's sock was also one of the factors which caused the difference of thermal conductivity of women's socks. The thicker fabric is, the better warmth retention property is. The thinner fabric is, the worse warmth retention property is. Usually, the thickness of fabric has a good linear relationship with the warmth retention property of fabric. The composition of fiber of 2# and 3# women's socks was the same, and the proportion of fiber was similar, so the main reason which caused the thermal conductivity of 2# women's sock was greater than that of 3# women's sock was 2# women's sock was thicker than 3# women's sock. 3.2 Air permeability of women's sock The testing result of air permeability of women's sock was shown in figure 2. The air permeability of fabric has a great relevance to the fiber composition and organization structure of fabric. It could be seen from figure 2 that the air permeability of 5# women's sock was the best, 5# women's sock contained higher proportion of bamboo fiber, the cross section of bamboo fiber is uneven, the fiber is hollow and has a lot of pore, which make the fiber has good air permeability. In addition, the thickness is also an important factor to influence on the air permeability of women's sock. so although the fiber composition, fiber content, and organization structure of 1#, 2# and 3# women's socks were all similar, 1# women's sock was thinner than 2# and 3# women's socks, the channel through which gas penetrated 1 # women's sock was short, in the process, the resistance was less, the air permeability of 1 # women's sock was better than that of 2# and 3# women's socks. 3.3 Moisture permeability of women's sock The testing result of moisture permeability of women's sock was shown in figure 3. Figure 3: The testing result of moisture permeability Figure 4: The testing result of moisture absorption of women's sock performance of women's sock The moisture permeability of women's sock mainly depends on the space between fiber and fiber, yarn and yarn, and the space was regarded as the channel of the movement of water vapor, so the moisture permeability of women's sock has a bigger relevance with the density of women's sock. It could be seen from table 1 that the horizontal density and longitudinal density of 1# women's sock was the lowest, which was an important reason of the good moisture permeability of 1# women's sock. In addition, the moisture permeability of women's sock has a lot of relevance with the fiber and air permeability of women's sock. It could be seen from figure 3 that the moisture permeability of 5# women's sock was the best, the proportion of cotton fiber of 1# women's sock was higher, but the moisture permeability was worse than that of 5# women's sock. 5# women's sock contained bamboo fiber, because the surface of bamboo fiber has grooves, cracks, lumen and gap, which has better capillary effect and make bamboo fiber have good moisture permeability. Although cotton fiber contains a large number of hydrophilic groups, the specific surface area of wet permeability groove which is caused by the natural turn of cotton fiber and is advantageous to capillary transmission is small, so its moisture permeability is lower. The good air permeability of 5# women's sock was also a factor leading to its good moisture permeability, because good air permeability could transmit the moisture of women's sock to the outside, and made 5# women's sock have better moisture permeability. (Shen et al. (2007)). 3.4 Moisture absorption performance of women's sock The testing result of moisture absorption performance of women's sock was shown in figure 4. 9 http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e7%83%ad%e4%bc%a0%e5%af%bc%e7%b3%bb%e6%95%b0&tjType=sentence&style=&t=thermal+conductivity http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e7%83%ad%e4%bc%a0%e5%af%bc%e7%b3%bb%e6%95%b0&tjType=sentence&style=&t=thermal+conductivity http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e7%83%ad%e4%bc%a0%e5%af%bc%e7%b3%bb%e6%95%b0&tjType=sentence&style=&t=thermal+conductivity http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e7%83%ad%e4%bc%a0%e5%af%bc%e7%b3%bb%e6%95%b0&tjType=sentence&style=&t=thermal+conductivity http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bf%9d%e6%9a%96%e6%80%a7&tjType=sentence&style=&t=warmth+retention+property http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e7%83%ad%e4%bc%a0%e5%af%bc%e7%b3%bb%e6%95%b0&tjType=sentence&style=&t=thermal+conductivity http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e7%bb%84%e7%bb%87%e7%bb%93%e6%9e%84&tjType=sentence&style=&t=organization+structure http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e7%bb%84%e7%bb%87%e7%bb%93%e6%9e%84&tjType=sentence&style=&t=organization+structure http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e5%af%bc%e6%b9%bf&tjType=sentence&style=&t=wet+permeability javascript:showjdsw('showjd_0','j_0') http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e6%af%9b%e7%bb%86&tjType=sentence&style=&t=capillary http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e4%bc%a0%e9%80%92&tjType=sentence&style=&t=transmission http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e9%80%8f%e6%b0%94%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=air+permeability http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e5%90%b8%e6%b9%bf%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=moisture+absorption+performance http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e5%90%b8%e6%b9%bf%e6%80%a7%e8%83%bd&tjType=sentence&style=&t=moisture+absorption+performance It could be seen from figure 4 that the order of moisture absorption performance of women's sock was 5#>1#>2#>3#>4#. This phenomenon was mainly caused by the fiber composition and fiber content of women's sock. 5# women's sock contained higher proportion of cotton fiber and bamboo fiber, the moisture absorption performance of the two was good, especially bamboo fiber. The cross section of bamboo fiber is concave and convex and is full of elliptic pore, which makes bamboo fiber highly hollow and h ave strong capillary effect and can absorb lots of moisture instantly. Cotton fiber also contains a large number of hydrophilic groups and has good moisture absorption performance. The fiber composition of 1#, 2# and 3# women's socks was the same. And the proportion of cotton fiber of 1# women's sock was the highest, so the moisture absorption performance was better. The proportion of cotton fiber of 4# women's sock was the lowest, and the other fiber was the fiber whose moisture absorption performance was bad, such as polyester, spandex, nylon, etc. Therefore, the moisture absorption performance of 4# women's sock was the worst. It could be seen from the above analysis that the performances of different women's socks both had advantages and disadvantages, so we couldn’t evaluate the thermal-wet comfort of women's socks directly. It was necessary to establish a scientific analysis and evaluation method to evaluate the thermal-wet comfort of women's socks quantitatively. Along with the development of the times and the progress of scientific method, people realize that the gray phenomenon of objective world has universality. For people, objective things are all grey system. On evaluating the thermal-wet comfort of women's sock, it was very difficult to determine the mapping relationship between different factors or between the thermal-wet comfort of women's sock and factors. Therefore, the evaluation of the thermal-wet comfort of women's sock belongs to an evaluation question of grey system (Loganathan and Sivapoornapriya (2015), Singh (2015)). 3.5 The approximate optimal judgment of the thermal-wet comfort of women's sock For the women's sock used in above experiment, according to the given index (the index of thermal-wet comfort measured in the experiment), approximate optimal comprehensive judgment method could be used to decide the thermal-wet comfort of women's sock.
