LIQUID TRANSFER AND DISTRIBUTION IN KNITTED FABRICS - EVALUATION OF MOISTURE MANAGEMENT PROPERTIES

摘要

Fabric liquid moisture transport properties in multi-dimensions, called moisture management properties, influence the human perception of moisture sensations significantly. 2 series of moisture management fabrics, including 3 kinds each, are designed for active sportswear to control the transfer and distribution of the sweat. A new method and instrument named Moisture Management Tester (MMT) has been developed to evaluate textile moisture management properties, which can quantitatively measure the dynamic liquid moisture transfer in the fabric in multi-directions.
