“…Synthetic fibres, especially the polyester staple fibre, have made a tremendous growth in clothing applications. 100% polyester staple fibres are rarely used for clothing purpose but in many cases when these are blended with other fibres like cotton and viscose fibres, they are widely used [5][6][7]. This article is concerned with wicking which plays a vital role in determining comfort and moisture transport behavior of fabric and also into find out the effect of four parameters of single jersey, rib and pique knitted structures on the wickability.…”

Wicking is one of the important properties of fabrics which decide its utility. The sweat generated in the body should be absorbed by the fabric as otherwise it may lead to skin diseases. It is advised that cotton fabrics should be worn net to the skin in order to get comfort to the wearer. This article is concerned with wicking which plays a vital role in determining comfort and moisture transport behavior of fabric and also into find out the effect of four parameters of single jersey, rib and pique knitted structures on the wickability. Parameters taken for the study were polyester cross-section, lycra denier used, plated structure and loop length.

“…Prakash et al [15] investigated the effect of fibre blend-ratio of bamboo and cotton on moisture management of single jersey knitted fabrics. They concluded that as the bamboo content increases, the wetting time, maximum wetted radius, spreading speed and overall moisture management capability (OMMC) decreases.…”

Moisture management properties are an important factor that could decide the comfort level of clothing worn by humans. This is largely dependent on the type of fiber and fabric structure of the fabric. In this study, the moisture management properties of untreated and scoured 100% cotton, 100% bamboo and 50/50% bamboo/cotton knitted fabrics were investigated. It was found that the 100% cotton and 100% bamboo fabrics, either untreated or scoured, gave good to excellent overall moisture management capability (OMMC) indicating water penetration fabric with small spreading area. The 50/50% bamboo/cotton fabrics were graded as having poor OMMC which means that fabrics are slow in liquid absorption, drying and spreading of the liquid. It can be said that the moisture management properties depends on the fiber types and ratio of yarn combination.

“…Electrical resistance at the surface of textile is altered when the rate of water at its surface fluctuates. This resistance is influenced by the electrical conductivity of the solution and the quantity of water trapped into the sample [31].…”
