“…Khoddami et al [17] explained that by the use of hollow fibre, the fabric thickness increases which increases the thermal resistance of the fabric. Greyson [18] , Havenith [19] and [20] presented their findings that heat resistance increases by increasing the air entrapped in the fabric as well as fabric thickness.…”

The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of various fabric parameters on the thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, thermal transmittance, thermal absorptivity and thermal insulation of polyester/cotton double layer knitted interlock fabrics. It was found that by increasing fibre content with higher specific heat increases the thermal insulation while decreases the thermal transmittance and absorptivity of the fabric. It was concluded that double layer knitted fabrics developed with higher specific heat fibres, coarser yarn linear densities, higher knitting loop length and fabric thickness could be adequately used for winter clothing purposes.

“…Nassif [6] gives the method to predict the bursting strength of the different knitted fabrics at the different levels of knitting machine gauges, by using the following regression models: decreases [8][9][10]. Grey and finish bursting strength of single pique (72 and 61 PSI) was found higher than double pique (61 and 49 PSI).…”

“…It can be seen that the weight loss of DS polyester fabrics is lower than the cotton fabric after 2000 cycles of abrasion, implying better abrasion resistance. Researchers also suggest that polyester filaments are considered to have good abrasion resistance [34]. Among all DS polyester fabrics, the weight reduction is the lowest for sample C, followed by sample B whilst sample A got higher reduction in fabric weight.…”

“…Kawabata Evaluation System and Fabric Assurance by Simple Testing and PhabrOmeter Fabric Evaluation System are widely used to conduct the objective evaluation. By using them, the effect of different material [17], fibre/yarn property like crosssectional shape and fineness [18,19], yarn property [20,21,22], fabric producing process [23] and finishing treatment [24,25] were analysed. Besides, the subjective evaluation is also applied to assess the fabric/garment handle to reflect the real touch of wearing [26].…”

Single-layered warp knitted fabrics were produced by the 60D/36F (containing 36 filaments) polyester yarn with differential shrinkage (DS) property in this study. Due to the differential shrinkage property, the fabric becomes curly and bulkier, simulating cotton fabric in terms of its appearance and fabric handle. The performance and appearance of these DS polyester warp knitted fabrics were evaluated objectively and subjectively. The testing results demonstrated that the DS polyester warp knitted fabric had better abrasion property, worse pilling resistance due to the mechanical property of polyester yarn when compared with 100% cotton warp knitted fabric. Meanwhile, lower water vapour permeability and air resistance were found for DS polyester warp knitted fabric resulting from the dense structure of yarn shrinkage after heat-moisture treatment. Besides, the fabric handle was evaluated by Kawabata evaluation system and subject to trial under dry and wet fabric condition. DS polyester warp knitted fabrics provide better recovery under low stress mechanical pressure. The subjective evaluation result shows that the warp knitted fabrics made of DS polyester had similar handle against cotton warp knitted fabric in terms of prickle, smooth, comfort and dry feeling in both dry and wet testing conditions.
