“…Socks should give more comfort than other garments as there is less air circulation in socks and in shoes than garments or other parts of the body [26]. Socks made from modified cotton perform the highest level of comfort for diabetics [24]. Fibers and yarn properties influence thermal comfort and not the thickness of sock [6].…”

Diabetic disease and its chronic complications is a public health problem that affects millions of people all over the world. Feet diabetics need private care by using appropriate shoes and socks, to avoid friction, sweating and high temperature. Diabetic socks have to attain an effective thermal comfort and higher appraisal performance. To achieve these conditions, the diabetic socks have to attain comfortable fit, no pressure points or seams on fingers, suitable size, classified as spring-summer or autumn-winter and also to avoid high temperature. The specifications of the diabetic socks sold in the market consist of its material combination, size and chemical treatments. No definite physical mechanical properties of diabetic socks are proposed. Diabetic socks taken from the market, with appropriate price, were evaluated for both thermal and non-thermal properties. The tested samples demonstrate a great variability’s in the fabric construction and properties. By analyzing the tested socks, the proposed values concerning the properties of diabetic socks for summer and winter are introduced. Moreover, relative geometrical mean of thermal comfort properties was proposed for determining a global measure of diabetic sock properties.

“…Compared to cotton, no significant results were obtained with elastane reclaimed fiber [12]. Fabric construction contributes about 80% of the thermal levels, different constructions may contribute to the same thermal properties [16,24]. They affect thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity, and relative vapor permeability properties [3,11].…”

: This paper investigated the characteristics of the physical properties of woven fabrics according to the yarn structure and fibre property. It was found that wicking property of woven fabrics made of sheath/core hybrid yarn were better than those of siro spun and siro-fil hybrid yarns, which was caused by platform for transport of moisture vapor by filaments on the core part of sheath core hybrid yarns. In drying property, the fabric specimen woven by PP/Tencel sheath core hybrid yarns as a warp and Coolmax/Tencel spun yarn as a weft showed quick drying property, which was caused by the sheath core hybrid yarn structure as drainage of water moisture and coolmax fibre characteristics as quick dry material. Concerning to breathability and thermal conductivity as heat transport phenomena, it was observed that breathability of fabrics woven with hybrid yarns such as sheath core and siro-fil in the warp and hi-multi filaments in the weft showed the lowest water vapor resistance, which was explained as due to for air gap in the fibres of the spun yarns to restrict the wet heat transport from perspiration vapor. Thermal conductivities of the fabrics woven with PET/Tencel siro-fil yarns in the weft and hybrid yarns such as sheath core and siro-fil in the warp revealed the highest values, which was observed as due to higher thermal conductivity of PET than PP and more contact point between fibres in the sirofil and sheath core hybrid yarns.

In this study, comfort and handle properties of fabrics woven with various fi bre types, e.g. Seacell ® , silver, cotton, bamboo viscose fi bres and soybean, were investigated and analysed. It was observed that fi bre types infl uence the comfort and handle properties of fabrics. According to the test results, cotton yarn had the best thermal properties compared with other fi bres, whereas bamboo and soybean demonstrated better handle proper ties than other fi bres.
