Alright, so for science I have to design a lightweight sleeping bag that can insulate heat very wellWhat types of fabrics are light and warm? In this design I also have to have a conductor fabricsomething that can conduct heat wellPlease, give me some examples of fabrics I can use in this designThanks!
It's part of the texture of the thread, or yarn, used to create the fabric.
Most fabrics are insulators, not conductorsI'm puzzled why conducting would be part of the design since the intention of a sleeping bag is to hold body heat, NOT release or transfer itYou might consider utilizing aluminized material (like those silver space blankets)Aluminum is a conductor technically but those blankets are really used to reflect and retain heat, rather than conductAcrylic or polypropylene polar pile fabrics are good lightweight insulators, as are closed-cell foam, down, wool and fluffy polyester, especially the type with hollow fibersSilk is an excellent and very light insulator also Sounds like a fun projectGood luck!
