This work reports on research being carried out in the area of functional knitted fabrics
with a special structure incorporating hydrophobic fibres near to the skin and suction channels of
hydrophilic fibres to suck moisture from the skin on the hydrophilic layer away from the skin; in
this way, comfort is maximised in active wear as the fabric does not feel wet near to the skin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
