COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS FOR HOSPITAL BED LINEN

Abstract

Investigation of the influence of the structure of textile materials for hospital bed linen with various  raw  compositions  on  the  ability  to  provide  thermophysiological  comfort  during  operation  in hospitals. Theoretical and experimental investigations are based on the main positions of textile
materials science. In experimental studies, modern methods were used to determine the physical properties of textile materials, as well as methods of mathematical planning and statistical processing of experimental results. Findings. The state of providing hospitals in Ukraine with hospital bed linen was given. Assortment of hospital clothes was analyzed. The main factors of formation of the modern range of textile materials for hospital bed linen are considered. The focus is on a new type of raw material for fabrics for bed linen – «bamboo  fiber».  The  analyze  of  the  hygienic  properties  of  modern  fabrics  for  bed  linen  are  presented. Experimentally  determined  indicators  characterizing  the  interaction  of  textiles  with  vapor  and  liquid
moisture. Originality.  The  data  on  the  hygienic  properties  of  textile  materials  for  bed  linen  of  various structures and raw compositions has been systematized. Identified specificity and comprehensively described the hygienic properties of bamboo textiles. It has been experimentally proved that the range of cotton and blended  textile  materials  that  are  used  today  for  the  manufacture  of  bed  linen  can  be  supplemented  by
bamboo textiles that provide a high level of comfort and durability of bed linen.
