Sažetak
The aim of the study was to investigate changes of water vapor resistance of coated fabrics with different knitted substrates. For the study different knitted structures were designed and produced, while the conditions for the coating process were kept constant. All structures were exposed to natural weathering in the summer and winter seasons. Thus, the experimental setup enabled the comparison of changes in water vapor resistance of various structures as a result of aging, as well as giving an insight into the differences in resistance after aging in different seasons. After exposure, changes in fabric mass per unit area, thickness and water vapor resistance were observed. The outcomes of the study gave a good insight into the behavior of coated fabrics and may be used when protecting coated materials in order to improve their performance.
