“…The compressibility behavior of knitted and woven fabrics depends on a number of factors, that is, fabric tightness, fabric surface irregularity, yarn hairiness, yarn compressibility, fiber material etc. The analyses of the pressure-thickness relationship performed by Alimaa et al [29] demonstrated a very prominent effect in terms of the knit construction and yarn structure. It was observed that fabric compressibility primarily depended on the fiber material.…”

Contemporary multifunctional textiles are based on hi-tech functionalization. Knitted structures can be relatively rapidly designed and produced in a variety of textures due to their composition of many interlacing loop elements and their combinations. Foldable weft-knitted structures exist in a wide range of forms from simple rolls, ribs, and pleats to more complex three-dimensional structures. They exhibit new kind of geometry and deformation mechanisms. Some of them exhibit auxetic potential. Foldable knitted structures are multifunctional and widely usable. They can be produced in a variety of structures, qualities, and dimensions: in panels, fully-fashioned, or seamless. Their possible application lies in different fields, such as fashionable and functional clothing, sportswear, medical care, packaging, interior design, sound and shock absorption, etc.

“…The composition properties of knitted fabrics were also essentially due to their knit constructions. Moreover, the loop length determined the compressibility of knitted fabrics to a great extent [29].…”

“…This can be explained by a structure of loops, which leads to decreasing compression resilience, and compression energy as the loop space becomes smaller [3]. In addition, the factors that influence knitted fabric's compressibility are structural parameters, loop length and cover factor as well as raw material and fibres blend ratio [5][6][7].…”

Compression properties of textile materials are useful for determining fullness, softness, smoothness, and stiffness. In addition, compression parameters have significant influence on fabric hand value and quality of textile materials. The present paper reports a study of the sublimation printing process influence on the change in compression properties of knitted fabrics (polyester, cotton, and cotton/ polyester) intended for sportswear manufacturing. For that purpose, the KES-FB3-A Compression Tester was used for measuring compression parameters of knitted fabrics. The parameters, which contributed to the smallest reduction percentage in compression properties of polyester knitted fabrics were yarn linear density and weight. For cotton-rich knitted fabrics sublimation coating powder was used for paper modification to bond disperse dyes to cotton fibres. The analysis of the results showed that the printing process had a smaller influence on the change of compression parameters of polyesters in relation to cotton and cotton/polyester knitted fabrics. It was noted that the printing process had the effect of thickness reduction for all knitted fabrics to varying degrees. Printing process contributed to small decrease in compressibility and specific volume values for polyester knitted fabrics. The modification process contributed to the significant reduction of the compressibility for cotton (from 34.46% to 47.89%) and cotton/polyester (from 38.81% to 50.75%) knitted fabrics. In addition, reduction in specific volume values range from 41.86% to 44.19% for cotton and from 42.37% to 45.75% for cotton/ polyester knitted fabrics was notted.

The aim of this work was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of knitted fabric intended for medical purposes as well as the influence of antimicrobial treatment on the compression work, volume resistivity, water sorption. and water retention of the examined material. Polyamide/elastane plain jersey knitted fabric was treated with a polymer matrix of chitosan gel in which either gentamicin sulfate or autochthonous essential oil of Picea abies was incorporated as an active substance. The treated fabrics showed a wide range of antimicrobial activity on microorganisms ( Staphilococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Candida albicans ) and therefore may have various medical applications. However, antimicrobial treatment changed the mechanical and physical-hygienic properties of the knitted fabric. The antimicrobial coatings decreased the total, elastic and irreversible compression work, water sorption, and volume resistivity, and increased the water retention of the fabrics. Antimicrobial treatment with chitosan and gentamicin sulfate produced a knitted fabric with good antimicrobial properties. However, if good mechanical and physical-hygienic properties are required, antimicrobial treatment with chitosan and essential oil of Picea abies has the advantage over treatment with gentamicin sulfate.
