Add to basketProtective clothing and equipment used for firefighters protect them against their harsh working environment loaded with strong thermal hazards, elevated environmental temperatures, low oxygen concentration and smoke. This book describes an in-depth review of firefighting clothing and equipment, and explicitly addresses the performance of protection and comfort in textile engineering, clothing design, and evaluation. Covered topics include protection and comfort requirements for firefighting clothing and equipment, testing methods, standards and performance evaluation, smart firefighting clothing for first responders and numerical modeling of performance of firefighting clothing.
Key Features
Guowen Song received his PhD degree in textile engineering, chemistry and science, at College of Textiles, North Carolina State University in North Carolina, USA. Currently he is Noma Scott Lloyd Chair professor in Department of Apparel, Event and Hospitality Management, Iowa State University. Guowen’s academic interest is on textile material and clothing for human safety and health. His work involves modeling studies of textile materials, protective clothing, development of devices and test protocols and analysis of textile and clothing performance. With the existing developed facilities, his efforts are to develop a unique research program that will improve clothing function and performance. His research aims to develop new textile materials and clothing systems through understanding mechanisms and fundamentals associated with heat and mass transfer between human body, clothing and environment. These studies include application of instrumented manikins and human subjects and 3D body scanning technology. Dr. Song has published over 80 scientific papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings. He has edited several books and contributed dozen chapters in textile related books.
Faming Wang is currently an Assistant Professor in Clothing Technology at Institute of Textiles and Clothing (ITC) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He earned his Lic. Phil. and Ph.D. degrees from Lund University (Sweden) under the supervision of world renowned physiologist Prof. Ingvar Holmér. After his Ph.D. training, Dr. Wang joined Eidgössische Materialprüfungs-und Forschungsanstalt (EMPA- Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, the ETH Domain, Switzerland) as Marie-Curie Fellow. He later became a Full Professor (the youngest full professor in Textiles & Clothing in the history in Mainland China) in Apparel Design & Engineering at Soochow University (Suzhou, China) in Oct. 2013 and there he established Laboratory for Clothing Physiology and Ergonomics (LCPE), a multi-disciplinary research group for the study of thermal interaction of the human body-clothing-environment system. To date, he has authored and co-authored >200 journal publications, conference papers/presentations, technical reports, books/chapters and patents. His published work has been cited >1,000 times and this gave him an h-index of 19 (Google Scholar, as of April 2018). In addition, he serves as the editorial member for several journals including Journal of Thermal Biology (a JCR-Q1 journal). He is also a founder member of Asian Society of Protective Clothing (ASPC).
