Effects of Different Fabrics Inhibiting the Passage of Moisture from the Environment

CSEF · 2006 Materials Science (Junior Division Only)

Overview

Objectives/Goals My objectives is to do my best in this project. I want to know on which fabric will do the best in precenting the passage of moisture. I also want to know if my hypothesis is correct or not. Methods/Materials The materials in this projectare : polyester fabric, cotton fabric, acetate fabric, sponges, small shovel, water , measuring cups,soil, triple beam balance, stop watch, pots. The method that I am doing in my project isto do the procedure ten times for every test variable. Results The results that i got when I was done with my project was that the wrapped actate fabric did the best of preventing the passage of moisture. The fabric that did the worse was cotton.Polyester was in between the average rate of acetates average and cottons average. Conclusions/Discussion After completing my project i found that my hypothesis was incorrect. My hypothesis stated thatcotton would do the best in preventing the passage of moisture.

Summary statement

My project is about which clothing would do the best in preventing the passage of moisture on a foggy day.
