“…30 Fabrics made from looser or less dense yarns such as Finecool® and Airclo® polyesters show higher air permeability than dense and structural complicated polyesters such as Coolmax® (oblong in cross-section with grooves running lengthwise along the threads) and Holofiber® (PET that contains an optical responsive material). 31 Seacell® yarns reduces the air permeability of the knits examined compared with knits manufactured from pure viscose yarns, where the linear density is the same, as previously observed. 32 In general, the air permeability of knits seems to depend on the linear density and raw material composition.…”

Eight functional single jersey plain knitted fabrics have been developed in order to assess a quantitative analysis of various comfort related properties in terms of thermal control, air and water vapour permeability, wickability, coefficient of kinetic friction and antimicrobial efficiency using eight different commercially available functional yarns: Polyester Craque® and viscose Craque® conventional yarns as controls; Finecool® and Coolmax® polyester yarns for moisture management and quick dry; Holofiber® polyester yarns containing an optical responsive material that the producer claims to improve body oxygenation; Airclo® polyester hollow yarns for efficient control of body temperature and finally polyester Trevira® and viscose Seacell® for antimicrobial activity. According to the results, Coolmax® for moisture management, Airclo® for thermal control and Seacell® for antimicrobial activity present the best performances as technical textiles for sportwear in the respective specific functional property.

“…Linear densities [22] of the yarn and loop length in the knitted fabrics have an effect on the thermal comfort properties of the knitted structured fabrics. The 100% cotton fabrics have [23][24][25][26][27] higher air permeability and higher thermal resistance values matched with bamboo/cotton blended fabrics.…”

In this research work, thermal properties of plain woven fabrics generated from regenerated bamboo and cotton fiber blended yarns were investigated. Seven mixtures of fiber (100% bamboo, 100% cotton, 10:90 bamboo: cotton, 20:80 bamboo: cotton, 30:70 bamboo: cotton, 40:60 bamboo: cotton and 50:50 bamboo: cotton) were developed to create 60 Tex ring spun yarn. The warp yarns were used as 100% regenerated bamboo and the bamboo: cotton blends were used alternatively in weft to produce plain woven fabrics. The plain structured woven fabrics show eminent thermal comfort properties with the blending of regenerated bamboo fibers. The air permeability of 100% regenerated bamboo fiber was recorded higher than the compared blends; the increased key factor contents of bamboo changed the air properties of the fabric. Furthermore, plain woven fabric of bamboo/cotton (50/50) has shown greater thermal conductivity and heat retention properties. The work reported in this paper is ensuring highpoints of thermal comfort properties of regenerated bamboo (100%) and cotton (100%) with plain woven structured fabrics, and potentially, the fabrics can be used for winter suiting apparel products.

“…The water vapour permeability data of bamboo is insufficient in the literature compared with related research on wood. Most of the water vapour permeability research on bamboo currently focuses on knitted fabrics rather than bamboo for construction (Majumdar et al 2010, Prakash et al 2011. The water vapour permeability of heat treated bamboo fibre and high density polyethylene composites has been reported by Du et al (2014).…”

This study measured the water vapour diffusion resistance factor of the Moso bamboo specimens in all directions of the cylindrical coordinate system at both internode parts and node parts. The measurement was conducted by the dry cup method. Major findings included three aspects. The water vapour diffusion resistance factor results of Moso bamboo specimens present a decreasing trend from the external surface to the internal surface in the radial directions. This fact may be attributed to the more densified fibre cells and low quantity of pits at the external surface. The water vapour diffusion resistance factor of bamboo specimens is remarkably lower in the longitudinal direction than in the radial and tangential directions. The large diameter, high interconnectivity and straight structure of the vascular bundle vessel influence the lower water vapour diffusion resistance factor in the longitudinal direction. The majority of the node specimens demonstrated lower water vapour diffusion resistance factor values than the internode specimens in the radial and tangential directions. The irregular orientation of vascular bundle vessels in different directions can be considered as the reason.
