“…Clothing comfort refers to clothing that provides a pleasant feeling to the wearer without causing any physical problem. Comfort is also mainly related to the interaction of the human body with its microclimate and clothing [1]. The clothing work as a tampon to conserve the body temperature in different atmospheric conditions [2].…”

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.

Abstract-One of the new technologies in the field of health is wearable biosensor, which provides vital signs monitoring of athletes and people who need long-term care. Smart sportswear refers smart Textiles that extend the functionality and usefulness of common fabrics. Smart sportswear is capable to measure health parameters of the wearer indulge in various active sports and can be a very useful tool to optimise the performance of a sports person. In present paper, electronic wearable sportswear (called smart sportswear) is developed which will be capable to measure heart rate, sweat & skin temperature of the wearer in real time and real time data can be monitored by using a developed mobile application. The optimised fibre blended fabric was chosen for development of smart sportswear to provide ultimate comfort to wearer. Smart sportswear was also tested for its thermal insulation, moisture management, Ultra Violet protection and breathability properties. The smart sportswear was also tested for the data accuracy and efficacy

“…Recent research has even proved that the loosely knitted fabric samples with a higher amount of entrapped air exhibit good air permeability but poor moisture management properties [17]. The flow of liquid in fibre assemblies, such as yarn and fabric, mainly happens due to capillary forces [11].…”

“…Therefore, dynamic liquid moisture transport is very important to reduce the humidity on the surface of the skin [2]. Moisture management of fabrics is mainly influenced by the fibre type, yarn construction and fabric construction [17,20]. The density and structure of yarns can greatly influence both the dimensions and structure of inter-and intrayarn pores.…”

Liquid moisture transport of textile structures has been studied in order to manage human perspiration well. This article deals with investigation of dynamic moisture transport of knitted fabrics by sophisticated methods, such as moisture management tester (MMT), thermography and microtomography systems. Three groups of knitted fabrics were analysed by the above-mentioned methods. Specifically, the distribution of liquid drops on samples was compared with the results of vertical wicking of tested materials and the parameter of three-dimensional fabric porosity. Both dynamic spreading of liquid drops on the surface of samples (from top and bottom sides simultaneously) and vertical wicking behaviour of textiles were analysed by the combination of thermography and image analysis system. Further, the results from MMT and porosity analysis by microtomography system were investigated to specify the interaction between structure parameters of knitted fabrics and their liquid transport properties which influence total wear comfort.
