After reviewing the past work into the characterization of weave structures and their relationships with various properties of fabrics, an account is given of the present knowledge of them on comfort properties which represents one of the major areas that have been neglected in garments. The shortcomings of this knowledge are shown to be that, although many studies have been conducted on comfort, there have been no systematic studies of weave structures and their impact on comfort. Thermal comfort properties of fabrics are affected by a gamut of fiber, yarn, and fabric properties. In this study, the characterization in the comfort properties, namely thermal resistance and thermal conductivity, has been studied as a function of weave structures and other geometrical properties.

Effect of Musa acuminata SAP on the air permeability of the finished cotton fabric Water vapor permeability The influence of I Musa acuminata i SAP on the water vapor permeability of the finished specimen is described in Figure 3.

Two-way ANOVA was utilized to identify the significance of differences between finished and controlled fabric samples and fabric physical properties, thermal comfort properties of woven finished fabric samples.

In this study eri silk/micro denier polyester/bamboo, eri silk/micro denier polyester/tencel plated interlock fabrics and the moisture management properties have been developed and analyzed. The effects of raw material combination and fabric structure on moisture management properties with plated interlock knit fabrics are examined. For this study, two types of plated interlock knit structures have been developed. The outer layer made up of bamboo/tencel yarns (14.8 tex), the middle layer micro denier polyester (125 denier) connected with more tuck points, the next to skin layer made up of eri silk yarns (14.3 tex). The result shows that plated interlock knit structure are highly influences the moisture management properties. When compare to eri silk/micro denier polyester/bamboo and tencel combination Excellent moisture management properties were observed in eri silk/micro denier/tencel combination plated interlock knitted fabrics.

A specific knitting structure was developed using bamboo, polypropylene, hollow polyester, and polyester staple fiber yarns on the face and reverse sides of the fabric to study the moisture management characteristics of tri-layer knitted fabrics. The techniques in which each type of material regulates moisture affects how warm or cool it feels. The results indicated that the bamboo (outer), hollow polyester (inner), and hollow polyester (middle) fabrics had a higher ability to regulate moisture, providing a high level of comfort, and are suitable for summer, sporty, and sportswear. The results suggest that the hollow polyester yarn used in the inner and middle layers of the tri-layer knitted fabric exhibit a greater level of the comfort property because of their wide wetting radius, high absorption rates, extended wetting times, and short drying times and quick sweat diffusion.

The ability to transport and evaporate moisture quickly and effectively is a very essential and expected property of a fabric chosen for the clothing purposes. The present study analyzed the moisture management properties of four different natural and manmade cellulosic fibers, its blends and by varying three different knitted structures using moisture management tester. The result reveals that the modal fiber wicks and spreads quickly and it requires an average 50% lesser time than other fiber samples. Among the three structures, single jersey fabrics showed excellent behavior of transportation of moisture through its surface. Single jersey modal fabric was rated as superior moisture management fabric, which can be recommended for the applications such as sportswear, where high moisture management properties with greater comfort are demanded.

Musa Acuminata SAP has greater influence on moisture management property of the fabric. The fabric finished with Musa Acuminata SAP also shows higher level of comfort. An examination was made on the effect of Musa Acuminata SAP-finished fabric on moisture management properties of the cotton-finished fabric like wetting time, absorption time, spreading area, spreading speed, accumulative one-way transport index, and moisture management capability. The results prove that the fabric finished with the highest concentration of Musa Acuminata SAP at a moderate temperature with the least processing time has good performance in the moisture management behavior of the finished fabric when compared with the lower concentration of Musa Acuminata SAP with the highest temperature at the highest processing time.

In this research paper, an instrument was designed and developed to measure the vertical wicking behavior of textile fabrics. This instrument measures the vertical wicking capability of the fabric samples with respect to time very precisely by the non-contact method using color sensors. It records the vertical wicking time of the fabric using color sensors which analyse the change of color in the fabric caused by the color solution used for wicking. The color sensors are arranged vertically at equal intervals. For validating the developed instrument, four types of woven and knitted fabric samples were tested at first using the standard manual test method and next using the developed instrument. The results were compared for its accuracy and repeatability. Results obtained from this developed instrument were highly correlated with the manual method and were reliable. This development can be used for the objective evaluation of vertical wicking characteristics of the fabric. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
