织物口罩用于预防COVID-19传播的目的通常需要长时间佩戴口罩而不需移除。口罩内部微气候条件的管理对于保持佩戴者舒适并提高使用者依从性非常重要。本研究利用热释光仪记录口罩内部的温度和湿度，研究口罩设计和织物类型对微气候的影响。结果发现，口罩的风格，其对空气的量纳入微气候的影响，有显着影响的因素，确定的温度和湿度水平。在成型口罩中，口罩设计对结果的影响大于面料类型的影响。在贴合面部的折叠口罩中，织物类型的影响是显著的，纤维成分和织物结构都导致了三种测试织物性能的差异。在带有插入式过滤器的口罩的情况下，织物层中捕获的大量静止空气和增加的口罩刚度对口罩内部的温度和湿度产生了最大的影响。在不同时间段记录的温度也存在显着差异，这突出了在足够长的时间内进行舒适度评估以防止错误解释的重要性。本研究的结果强调了在口罩的开发中考虑口罩设计的所有组成部分，即风格，纤维类型和织物结构，以提高用户依从性的重要性。
The purpose of fabric masks in the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 often requires that the masks be worn for extended periods without removal. The management of the conditions in the micro-climate inside the masks is important to keep the wearer comfortable and enhance user compliance. In this study, the effect of mask design and fabric type on the micro-climate was investigated using thermocron iButtons to record the temperature and humidity inside the masks. It was found that the mask style, and its effect on the amount of air incorporated in the micro-climate, had a significant influence on the factors that determine the temperature and humidity levels. In the shaped masks, the impact of the mask design on the results was stronger than the effect of fabric type. In the folded masks that fit snugly around the face, the effect of fabric type was significant, and both fibre composition and fabric structure contributed to the differences in the performance of the three fabrics tested. In the case of the masks with an inserted filter, a significant amount of trapped still air in the fabric layers and the increased mask stiffness had the strongest effect on the temperature and humidity inside the masks. Significant differences were also found in the temperatures recorded in the different time segments, highlighting the importance of conducting comfort evaluations over a long enough time to prevent false interpretations. The results of this study emphasize the importance of considering all the components of mask design, namely style, fibre type, and fabric structure, in the development of masks to enhance user compliance.
