Abstract
The main aim of the research was to compare the values of some thermal and electrical parameters obtained for a basalt fabric modified with the metal and ceramics coatings. The surface modification of basalt fabric was made by using a magnetron sputtering technique. Chrome and zirconium(IV) oxide coatings were deposited on the fabric surface. The thermal and electrical properties of selected fabrics were determined. In order to assess the comfort properties of fabrics, the thermal resistance of materials was analyzed. Instrumental color measurement was used for an assessment of the surface of modified and unmodified basalt fabric. Using a non-contact digital color imaging system, DigiEye, an original method of samples surface analysis was presented. As a result of research, the modification of basalt fabric surface for applications in a hot work environment enabled the improvement of thermal properties in relation to the references samples. The first level of protection against contact heat for a contact temperature of 100 °C was obtained for the zirconium(IV) oxide-modified basalt fabric. The first level of protection against radiant heat was obtained for all samples. The highest value for the heat radiant resistance was obtained for the chrome-modified basalt fabric.
Highlights
Nowadays, the textile sector strives to develop innovative technologies or to combine different techniques and materials to obtain a new material of different or better properties
Quantitative and color analyses of the content of individual elements on the basalt fabric surface covered with the 20 μm thick chrome coating and the 18 μm zirconium(IV) oxide coating significant difference between the values of contact heat for the basic basalt fabric and its modifications
The modification of basalt fabric surface with the metal and ceramics using the magnetron sputtering technique in the field of thermal properties tests affected the results of tests carried out
Summary
The textile sector strives to develop innovative technologies or to combine different techniques and materials to obtain a new material of different or better properties. The protective gloves should meet the basic standard [4]. In the case of protective gloves, in particular gloves protecting against hot factors, it is difficult to reach a compromise between providing adequate protective and functional properties. A higher level of protection in terms of thermal resistance involves the use of several layers of different materials. These layers significantly reduce the efficiency and ability to manipulate the fingers. It is advisable to replace several layers with one textile material with a coating that meets the requirements for protective gloves
