In academic research, the number of air layers and fabric layers affects heat loss through textiles. Air layers between the human body and the fabric, and between fabrics, influence heat transfer under different ambient temperatures. Detailed research has been conducted on the weaving process of weft-knitted double-sided air-layer plain weave. Regarding technical patents, a utility model patent with publication number CN220808789U aims to solve the problems of fabric delamination, deformation, and easy damage during washing by setting up multi-layered abrasion-resistant, water-resistant, and deformation-resistant structures.
In industry analysis, the "Survey Report on the Supply and Demand Status and Development Trends of Jacquard Air-Layer Fabrics in China" analyzes the market potential, consumption scale, competitive landscape, and future trends of the jacquard air-layer fabric industry. Historically, the research and application of air-layer fabrics can be traced back to diving suits in the 1950s, which used a unique sandwich structure to lock in air to form an insulation layer, and later gradually expanded to the fashion and sports fields.
