Influence of blend ratio and linear density on liquid spreading characteristics of bamboo/cotton-blended yarn knitted fabrics measured by liquid spread tester

Moisture management is a critical feature of any sportswear, as it improves the fabric's comfort level. Comfort differs from person to person depending upon the perception of the wearer. Comfort is the relation between a psychological and physiological behavior of the wearer. The moisture transmission of the fabric is the key determinant of thermophysiological comfort. The moisture management features of trilayer knitted fabrics constructed of a range of yarns on the inner and outer sides, including micro denier filament polyester, Monofilament, wool, bamboo, and cotton, are examined in this article. The sample B/MDPF/C, which included an inner layer of bamboo, a middle layer of Micro denier Filament polyester, and an outer layer of cotton shows appreciable moisture management property, providing an excellent comfort nature due to its appreciable property required for a moisture management fabric.

“…There are many studies on the influence of yarn parameters and fabric structural variables on the thermal comfort properties of knitted structures. It is reported that there is an increase in air and WVP (Chidambaram et al , 2007; Bivainyte and Mikucioniene, 2011; Bivainyte et al , 2012; Ozdil et al , 2007; Chidambaram et al , 2011) and liquid spreading rates (Raja et al , 2014) but there is a decrease in in-plane wicking ability (Ozturk et al , 2011; Das et al , 2009) of fabrics with the decrease in yarn linear density.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to optimize the linear densities of polyester yarn and filament for inner layer and elastane for middle layer with cotton yarn outer layer in plain knitted plated structure for hot and dry environment clothing. Design/methodology/approach Three levels of polyester yarn linear densities (11.1, 8.4 and 5.6 Tex), filament linear densities (0.8, 1.55 and 2.3 Decitex) and elastane (0, 4 and 8 percent) with 14.75 Tex cotton yarn have been used to knit 15 single jersey plated fabrics based on Box and Benhens experimental design with same loop length. Three cotton–elastane core-spun fabrics were also produced. All the fabrics were analyzed for moisture and ergonomic comfort properties and wet fabric coefficient of friction. Findings The increase in elastane content and yarn linear density decreases water vapor and air permeability; the increase in filament linear density decreases wicking rate and water absorbency. The optimum solution is 5.55 Tex polyester yarn of 0.8 Decitex filament as inner layer and 14.75 Tex cotton yarn as outer layer which gives good heat and moisture transfer without stickiness. Research limitations/implications The implication of this paper is to study thinner polyester, polypropylene and polyethylene fabrics with more micro pores as skin contact layer for quicker heat and moisture transfer. Practical implications Outward wickability of sweat from the skin is the prime requirement of all skin contact layer fabrics. Social implications It shifts the social attitude of most comfortable fabric to polyester–cotton plated for hot and dry climate. Originality/value This paper employs a more practical method for the selection of fabric.

“…The main aim of the research is to device an instrument that measures the fabric thermal properties in wearing situation and thus determines the values of thermal conductivity, resistance and transmittance of various fabrics. Thus in today's world where novel varieties of fabrics are being found the instrument helps in determining the wear ability of the fabrics based on the thermal properties and if these fabrics are appropriate for human clothing [7][8][9].…”
