“…In relation to resistances of unfinished knitted fabrics, the water vapor resistance of the finished versions is lowered between 1% (sample T12) to 40% (sample C14), with a mean of 13%. In comparison, changes in water vapor transmission trough single jersey structures reported by Sampath and Senthilkumar were around 15-20% 8 . The reason for the mentioned reduction of resistance after finishing may be found in changes in the knitted fabric structure caused by the chemical processes performed.…”

The objective of this study was to explore a number of technical–technological parameters affecting the water vapor resistance of knitted fabric and clothing, as well as to develop a predictive model that describes the prominent affecting parameters. Thirty-four knitted fabrics were carefully produced and measured on a sweating guarded hotplate and thermal manikin. The study focused on the influence of the following parameters on the transfer of water vapor: type of textile fibers, yarn and knitted fabric parameters, finishing of fabrics (recipes include bleaching, dyeing, and softening), and body activity. The statistical analysis, performed to examine the relationship between observed parameters, indicated medium correlation between water vapor resistance and moisture regain (R = 0.7). Furthermore, the relationship between water vapor resistance and the following knitted fabric parameters is especially prominent: mass per unit area, knitted fabric thickness, and tightness factor (R = 0.9). When the fabrics are made into ensembles, however, effects of material differences become small and the differences between garments more difficult to discriminate; even more so when movement is present.

“…Multi-layers fabric of hydrophilic and hydrophobic material was developed in order to improve its moisture management [20,21]. Various techniques have been emphasized to develop better moisture management such as combining Polyester with different natural fiber types, microfiber, Bi-component fiber, especially different cross-section, plasma treatment and applying surface finish [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. A material such as cellulose that is produced by both plants and bacteria on a totally sustainable basis assumes great significance for future materials development [41,42].…”

In this work we studied the effect of surface treated fabric by applying Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Particles using two different procedures. The first method was to dissolve MCC particles and form a MCC solution which further was blended with a textile binder to obtain the fabric coating. The second treatment was direct blending MCC particles with same textile binder in order to get the fabric finishing to be sprayed on the fabric surface. The percentage of MCC particles was chosen 6%, as this ratio can be considered the most appropriate one. The effect of these treatments on fabrics moisture wettability with varying percentage of coating was studied. It was concluded that the second method by spraying MCC Particles directly on the fabric surface gives superior improved fabric's wettability and moisture management than solving the MCC and coating the fabric surface. The morphological study using SEM confirmed the presence of MCC particles on the fabric surface; therefore, intensification fiber surface energy leads to increase the wicking properties and increase the rate of water absorption. ª 2015 Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University.

“…Consumer demands on comfortable clothing have also increased and there are many studies related to the comfort properties of fabrics. One way to achieve the level and degree of clothing comfort is through moisture management textiles [3].…”

“…Moisture management is described as the controlled movement of water vapour and perspiration from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric to make the wearer feel comfortable [3,4]. It is also related to the transmission behaviour of the fabric, namely air permeability, thermal behaviour of the fabric, namely air permeability, thermal conductive, water vapour permeability, moisture vapour resistance, wicking, and wetting [5][6][7].…”

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.
