Focus is placed on the relationship between the hardening structure andhumidity-resistance of the composite binder. The results show that the α-starch composite binder has goodhumidity-resistance due to its special complex structure. SEM observations illustrate that the composite binder consists ofreticular matrix and a ball- or lump-shaped reinforcement phase, and the specific property of the binding membrane withheterogeneous structure is affected by humidity to a small extent. Based on the analyses on the interplays of differentingredients in the binder at hardening, the structure model and hygroscopicity-resistant mechanisms of the hardeningcomposite binder were further proposed. Moreover, the reasons for good humidity-resistance of the composite binderbonded sand are well explained by the humidity-resistant mechanisms.展开更多

It is pointed out that, when the wind speed outside is high, or the air permeability is very good, the sweat of human body will evaporate mainly through turbulent diffusion. Because of the rapid sweat evaporation, human body will feel cold, and then, the difference in temperature and humidity of the micro - climatic section will be very slight. On the contrary, when the wind speed outside is slow or the air permeability is unsatisfactory, the sweat of human body will evaporate mainly through molecular diffusion, and in this case, the humidity of the micro - climatic section will be depended on the hygroscopicity of the fabric, that’ s to say, the better the hygroscopicity, the lower the humidity. It is difficult for pure wool fabric to loss heat because of its giving out much heat during the course of moisture - absorption in the initial stages of sweating. For pure polyester fabric,展开更多
