“…The height of the water raised in 5 min was measured at 30-second intervals. Water absorbency of the fabric samples was measured according to the method used by Mukhopadhyay, Ishtiaque, and Uttam (2011). The specimens were cut with a round cutter, each having an area of 100 cm 2 and weight (W 1 ).…”

This study investigated the vertical wicking, water absorption and drying properties of vortex-and ring-spun combed cotton yarns and knitted fabrics comparatively. The yarns were produced in three different counts as 30 Ne, 40 Ne and 50 Ne. The experimental results revealed that vortex-spun yarns had lower yarn and fabric wicking and water absorption values than ring-spun yarns. In addition, it was observed that yarn type did not have a significant impact on the drying time of the fabrics.

“…It is important to note that for making the hollow yarn fabrics; bi-component pre-hollow yarn is used to make the fabric; thereafter one component (e.g. polyvinyl alcohol) is dissolved from the pre-hollow yarn at the fabric stage [8,9].…”

“…It may be noted that the PVA fiber is soluble in water at about 60°C [3,8]. In the extended study conducted by Mukhopadhyay et al [9], the pre-hollow yarn fabrics were boiled (hot washed) in water for 25 minutes to remove the PVA portion of yarn.…”

In the present study impact of structural variations on pre-hollow/micro-porous yarn's tensile and physical properties were investigated in view of their processing and ultimate product quality. The results show that: the core pre-hollow yarns and doubled pre-hollow yarns possessing continuous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) filaments are better in tensile behavior than blended pre-hollow yarns which contain discrete PVA staple fibers. The doubled pre-hollow yarns were found to have the lowest unevenness, thick places, thin places and total imperfections followed by blended pre-hollow and core pre-hollow yarns, while blended pre-hollow yarns showed lowest number of neps. The core pre-hollow yarns exhibit lowest hairiness followed by blended pre-hollow yarns and doubled pre-hollow yarns. Use of double roving during spinning is beneficial for improving yarn strength, unevenness imperfections and hairiness in all the pre-hollow yarns.

Multifunction elastic warp-knitted fabrics were fabricated on a crochet machine with the use of metal composite yarns/viscose yarn and bamboo polyester/ crisscross-section polyester hybrid yarns as the front face and back face of the knitted fabric structure, respectively. We investigated the effect of the blend ratio of bamboo charcoal/ crisscross-section polyester multiply yarns on the fabric's moisture comfort properties, such as water vapour transmission (WVT), water evaporation rate (WER), and water absorbency. The results showed that blending ratio significantly influenced WVT and WER. Moreover, antibacterial activity of the elastic warp- knitted fabric was tested against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in accordance with AATCC 90-2011. Finally, the extension- stress value curves were used to analyse the elastic stretching property, and the fabric exhibited greater breaking elongation and lower stress value in the walewise than in the weft direction.
