“…For fabric HC the air permeability increases with 144% (BS 10) and 1178% (BS20) and for fabric SW with 363% (BS10) and 938% (BS 20), respectively. These values are in line with other studies [29] that reported a significant increase in air permeability of a stretch fabric upon bilateral stretch of 10%. The denser HC-graphene pattern seems to lead to lower air permeability when compared to the SW-fabric.…”

In this study two elastic polyester fabrics differentiated by a graphene-printed pattern, called honeycomb (HC) and spider web (SW), were analyzed with a focus on their thermal, mechanical, moisture management and sensorial properties, aiming to identify the fabric with the most elevated heat dissipation and comfort for sportswear. The shape of the graphene-printed circuit did not lead to significant difference between the mechanical properties of the fabrics SW and HC assessed by the Fabric Touch Tester (FTT). Fabric SW outperformed fabric HC with respect of drying time, air permeability, moisture, and liquid management properties. On the other hand, both the Infrared (IR) thermography and FTT-predicted warmness clearly showed that fabric HC dissipates heat faster on its surface along the graphene circuit. This fabric was also predicted by the FTT as smoother and softer than fabric SW and had a better overall fabric hand. The results revealed that both graphene patterns resulted in comfortable fabrics with great potential applications in sportswear fields, in specific use scenario’s.

“…Air permeability was therefore measured both on the fabrics in relaxed state (RS), as well as exposed to bilateral stretch of 10% (BS10) and 20% (BS20). To apply biaxial stretch, a device was used as reported elsewhere [29]. Five specimens were tested for each state (RS, BS10 and BS20) and the mean air permeability was calculated.…”

“…Similar results were also reported by Mavruz and Ogulata [25] who found that air permeability was decreased in knitted fabrics after washing because the structure of fabric becomes tighter. In another study, S. Vasile et al [26] showed that air permeability decreased with an increase in the number of washes. Increasing the mass per unit area of the fabrics also resulted in a decrease in the air permeability of fabrics, as shown in Figure 1.…”

The water, air permeability and thermal resistance of fabrics are important attributes that have a significant impact on the thermal comfort properties of sportswear fabrics in different environmental conditions. In this work, terry and fleece fabrics were developed by varying the fibre content and mass per unit area of fabrics. Moreover, the thermo-physical properties of the developed fabrics, including air permeability, water vapor permeability and thermal resistance, were analysed before and after washing. The multi-response optimization of the thermal comfort properties of knitted fabrics was performed using principal component analysis (PCA) and the Taguchi signal-to-noise ratio (PCA-S/N ratio) to achieve optimal properties. It was determined that the selected parameters (fabric type, finishing, fibre content and fabric mass per unit area) had a significant effect on the thermal comfort properties of knitted fabrics. The PCA analysis showed that 100% cotton terry fabric before washing with an aerial weight of 220 g/m2 had higher air and water vapor permeability value, but a lower thermal resistance value.

“…Technological advancement regarding the sustainable washing, green dyeing also took place for textile materials processing during the recent years [36] [37]. Various types of newly introduced denim of exotic designs supplemented with lightness, smoothness and comfortability sensational features have added a new height to the fashion arena [38]. Recently conducted various research works emphasized about the development of various washing treatments for denim processing [39] [40].…”

This research work was designed to explore the effect of different washing processes (enzyme wash, enzyme stone wash, enzyme stone wash with bleaching, heavy enzyme stone wash with bleaching) on various properties of stretch denim fabric. Different properties like tensile strength, tear strength, dimensional stability to washing, color fastness to washing, color fastness to water, color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to light, color fastness to rubbing, changes in fabric weight were investigated in context with different washing processes for stretch denim fabric. All tests were carried out according to the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). Enzyme washed fabric illustrated better performance regarding tear strength, tensile strength and dimensional stability; but showed moderate performance in different color fastness properties. But the color fastness to rubbing of heavy enzyme stone wash was excellent. No significant change was observed regarding the grade of color change and color staining for color fastness to wash, color fastness to perspiration and color fastness to light with respect to different types of washing processes like enzyme wash, enzyme stone wash, enzyme stone wash with bleaching and heavy enzyme stone wash with bleaching. The grade for dry rubbing and wet rubbing was comparatively better for enzyme wash rather than other washing processes. The GSM (gram per square meter) of stretch denim fabric also increased accordingly after different kinds of washing process rather than untreated stretch denim fabric. The dimensional stability of stretch denim fabric also altered after going through different washing process. The highest shrinkage was occurred in weft direction for heavy enzyme stone wash with bleaching.
