Analysis of the Engineering and Functional Properties of Coat Fabrics to Develop a Standard Specification Ensuring Thermal Performance and Comfortt"

Coat fabrics are an essential part of winter clothing that provide protection in changing climate conditions. They combine engineering and functional properties such as thermal insulation, durability, and comfort. Their characteristics vary depending on the intended use and aim to strike a balance between protection against changing weather conditions and aesthetic appearance, with treatments applied to improve their functional properties. Innovations in textile manufacturing help enhance these fabrics to meet consumer needs.

Coat fabrics must meet all required specifications to ensure their suitability for the final use, while adhering to all necessary standards to ensure user comfort. The fabrics undergo mechanical finishing stages, which affect the engineering and functional properties of the fabrics to enhance efficiency by achieving the most suitable analysis for textile fabrics.

The research problem lies in the necessity of analyzing the properties of coat fabrics to improve their performance in the face of environmental factors such as cold and wind. There are challenges in understanding the impact of fabric properties and weave structure on functional performance. Previous studies lack sufficient analysis of properties such as thread density and weave structure, making it difficult to determine the relationship between these properties and performance. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive study to identify the engineering and functional properties that impact coat quality and user comfort.

This research aims to analyze the engineering and functional properties of coat fabrics to determine the best standard specifications. It focuses on studying the effects of weave structure, fiber type, fabric density, and finishing treatments on functional performance, with the goal of improving comfort, durability, and resistance to environmental factors to meet consumer needs and industry standards.

Different specifications of coat fabrics (coats used in extremely cold climates, coats used in less cold climates, and coats for autumn climates) were analyzed, and autumn-appropriate coat fabrics were produced. Tests were then conducted on them, and most of the samples met the required specifications.
