摘要
This study investigated the effects of clothing fabric on human skin microcirculation.Once skin is covered with a clothing fabric,human sensations,namely,coolness,warmth,softness,and roughness,are aroused immediately,and the cutaneous microcirculation may be changed consequently.Since the complex relationships of the human skin,the environment,and the clothing,there is few publication focusing on the physiological responses of the skin to the fabrics.In this paper,a Laser Doppler Flowmetry(LDF)was used to test the dynamic responses of the skin blood flow when the fabric was placed on the skin.Effects of different fabrics on the skin blood flux were investigated.The results show that cold stimulation of fabric has remarkable influences on the skin blood flux,and the surface properties of fabric are of importance to affect the human skin blood flow.
