In this research, the effect of air plasma treatment on moisture management properties of cotton and polyester fibers blended in 0:100, 50:50, 100:0 ratios in four different structures: single jersey, cross-tuck, cross-miss and twill at two different loop lengths 0.29 cm and 0.32 cm is analyzed. It is clearly shown that the knit fabric made of 100% polyester has providing good moisture management properties. The moisture management properties mainly depend on the loop length and fabric structure of the fabric. The fabric made with 100% polyester of cross-miss knit fabric with a loop length of 0.32 cm has good moisture management property. The plasma treatment also has a significant impact on improving the moisture management properties of the fabric. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
