“…We also see in the results that for each fiber type studied, the drying rates of the samples were related to the initial amount of liquid water in a fabric. In other words, the drying rates of the fabric samples that absorbed initially more water tended to have higher drying rates, which was in agreement with literature (Benltoufa, Fayala, & Nasrallah, 2008; Cimilli, Nergis, Candan, & Özdemir, 2010; Coplan, 1953; Crow & Osczevski, 1998; Fourt et al, 1951).…”

“…Measurements of transfer wicking were made based on the method used by Zhuang, Harlock, and Brook (2002), with the difference that the pressure applied was kept constant at 15.6 kg/m 2 . Coplan's (1953) and Fourt, Sookne, Frishman, and Harris's (1951) method was used to determine the drying rates of the fabrics. The overall porosity is defined as the ratio of open space to the total volume of the porous material, and it was calculated according to the literature (Mukhopadhyay, Ishtiaque, & Uttam, 2011).…”

Water-Related Comfort Properties of Silver-Modified Polyamide Fabrics Treated With Wicking and Antibacterial Finishes

The performance of the active sportswear is mostly related to wetting, wicking, and permeability properties of the fabrics. Antibacterial efficacy of the garments has an important place on the wearer performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of wicking and antibacterial finishing treatments on water-related comfort properties of seamless garments made from silver-modified polyamide and conventional polyamide fibers. The results showed that silver-modified polyamide fiber performed better at longitudinal wicking height and transfer wicking ratios. Application of antibacterial and wicking finishing treatments reduced the drying rate and water vapor permeability whereas transfer wicking and wicking height values increased. By Lycra incorporation, height of water wicked was much higher while transfer wicking, drying rate, and water vapor permeability were affected negatively. Finally, SWT fabric was found the best, while PWN performed the worst according to the hybrid AHP-TOPSIS method.

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.

“…The problem with such a definition, however, is that to some extent every piece of textile changes in reaction to its environment [20], [10]. It has been long understood that it is those precise changes in the environment that would allow cotton, for example, to shrink [21] and wool to retain moisture [22]. A question therefore remains about the difference between merely responsive behaviour and genuinely smart behaviour [16].…”

The Smart Textile Problem and Its Implication for Teaching

The 21 st century has seen the textiles industry and academy face the challenge of smart textiles. There is a popular view that describes smartness in textiles as a synonym for responsive behaviour. This perception however is challenged by the idea that all natural textile materials change in reaction to its environment. A question therefore remains as to what responsive behaviour constitutes as smart behaviour. In other words, when does the responsive turn into smart? The textile industry heavily relies on weaving as the construction methodology for cloths. Weaving, and woven materials, have changed very little since the Stone Age. Even the Industrial Revolution only changed the speed and efficiency of weaving-but not the basic structure of woven materials themselves. The dramatic change that was introduced from the Industrial Revolution is the bonded dependency of structures potentials in the specifications of the machines. This link still rule textile manufacture today and the interesting thing here is that our weaving machines have only changed a little in over 250 years. The dramatic introduction and ever increasing development of new technologies and textile components has created, as a result, an inherent gap between cutting edge technologies, advanced material science and what could only be described as ancient textiles construction methodologies. This session will outline the issues concerning smart textiles. It will portray the weaver as a behaviourist learner and will introduce the formation of a new experimental learning space through a plantation of a rhizomatic strategy within a behaviourist discipline. The session will consequently discuss why such seemingly two incommensurable approaches to learning-behaviorism and rhizomatism-may come together and work alongside one another through a new agonistic and interdisciplinary space to allow the development of innovative textile structures. This session will appeal to textiles designers, makers, teachers and researchers from all creative disciplines. It will also appeal to those interested in pedagogic frameworks and research into academic structures and delivery of programs.
