Evaluation of moisture management properties on knitted fabrics

摘要

In order to determine the effect of raw material, weave type and tightness on liquid absorption and transmission which is an important factor in the perception of people's clothing comfort, knitted fabrics made of cotton, viscose and polyester yarns, which had single jersey, 1 × 1 rib and single pique weave type, had three different tightness as tight, medium and loose, were produced. Moisture management tester (MMT) was used for multi-dimensional liquid transport of the fabrics produced. As a result of the study, it is observed that polyester fabrics had higher OMMC values than those of cellulosic-based fabrics. Regarding the effect of tightness, liquid transport has decreased with increasing tightness in general. Weave types examined in this study, were not as strong as raw materials and tightness and did not have such a significant effect.
