Influence of Moisture Management finish on comfort characteristics of knitted fabrics made from different yarns
2020Co-Authors: M. B. Sampath, C. Prakash, M. Senthil KumarAbstract:The influence of Moisture Management finish on comfort characteristics of knitted fabrics made from five different yarns has been studied in order to find out their level of performance. In order to study this effect, five types of yarns, namely microdenier polyester, spun polyester, polyester / cotton, filament polyester and 100% cotton, have been converted to knitted fabrics. It is observed that microdenier polyester fabrics having high wicking action and quicker Moisture evaporation show superior performance with respect to comfort characteristics

An effect of fabrics thickness and structure on Moisture Management properties of 3D spacer fabrics
International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology, 2019Co-Authors: T Palani Rajan, C. Prakash, Govindan RamakrishnanAbstract:Polyester multifilament is used to produce the face and back layer of warp knitted spacer fabric (WKSF) and these two layers are connected by polyester monofilament as a middle layer. This fabric has unique and extraordinary characteristics, and different possibilities of fabric structure and the middle layer thickness are tried to find out the Moisture Management properties. The paper aims to discuss these issues.,This study investigates the influence of fabric thickness and structure on Moisture Management properties.,Polyester monofilament quickly up takes the water molecule from the water reservoir and transfers it by capillary action. The gravitational force and the availability space between the two outer surface layers restrict the movement of water molecules, although the pressure develops to push the molecules from the water reservoir. As a result, all the spacer fabric samples attain the equilibrium state very quickly. WKSF and the hexagonal net structure prove to be better in vertical wicking.,The liquid movement is quick in the front side of the spacer fabric, and the rate of wicking is higher in open structure than in the closed structure. It confirms that the hexagonal net structure produces high pore size on fabric and it reaches maximum wicking values. Fabric thickness does not have much influence on the vertical wicking properties of all fabric samples, and the rate of liquid movement produces a similar trend. In in-plane wicking, the polyester monofilament in the middle layer of spacer fabric plays a major role rather than the outer surface layers of fabric.

Effect of blend ratio and single, double and plated yarn on Moisture Management properties of bamboo/cotton jersey knitted fabrics
2019Co-Authors: C. Prakash, K C KarunakaranAbstract:Effect of bamboo/cotton blend ratio on the Moisture Management properties of single, double and plated yarn singlejersey knitted fabrics has been studied. The Moisture Management properties of the fabrics are measured by SDL-ATLASMoisture Management tester. Absorption rate, wetting time, maximum wetted radius, spreading speeds, one-waytransportation capability and overall Moisture Management capacity are measured and discussed. The results show that thebamboo composition has a significant influence on Moisture Management properties.

Influence of Laundering on Comfort Characteristics of Moisture Management Finished Microdenier Polyester Knitted Fabrics
Fibers and Polymers, 2019Co-Authors: M. B. Sampath, C. Prakash, M. Senthil KumarAbstract:In this study an attempt has been made to study the influence of laundry performance on the various comfort characteristics of Moisture Management Finished (MMF) knitted fabrics. The influence of laundering on comfort characteristics of MMF microdenier polyester knitted fabrics was studied to find out the durability of the MMF and its capability to withstand at least 20 home laundry cycles. In order to study this effect, the MMF knitted fabrics were subjected to different laundering cycles. It was observed that 10 wash and 20 wash fabrics exhibited a superior performance thereby fulfilling an important parameter of permanent wash proofness.

Smart hydrogel-functionalized textile system with Moisture Management property for skin application
Smart Materials and Structures, 2014Co-Authors: Xiaowen Wang, Zongyue Yang, Yeeyee Kong, Huawen Hu, Bin Fei, Liang He, John H. XinAbstract:In this study, a functional textile-based material for topical skin application was fabricated by coating a thermoresponsive hydrogel onto one side of absorbent nonwoven fabric. The thermoresponsive hydrogel was synthesized easily through coupling of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly (-caprolactone) (PCL) with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) as a chemical linker. The chemical structure of the as-prepared triblock copolymer hydrogel was unraveled by FTIR and 1H NMR analysis. The hydrogel showed a temperature-triggered sol-gel transition behavior and high potential for use as drug controlled release. When the surrounding temperature was close to the skin temperature of around 34 °C, it became a Moisture Management system where the liquids including sweat, blood, and other body fluids can be transported unidirectionally from one fabric side with the hydrophobic hydrogel coating to the untreated opposite side. This thereby showed that the thermoresponsive hydrogel-coated textile materials had a function to keep topical skin area clean, breathable, and comfortable, thus suggesting a great potential and significance for long-term skin treatment application. The structure and surface morphology of the thermoresponsive hydrogel, in vitro drug release behavior, and the mechanism of unidirectional water transport were investigated in detail. Our success in preparation of the functional textile composites will pave the way for development of various polymer- or textile-based functional materials that are applicable in the real world.

Moisture Management properties of wool polyester and wool bamboo knitted fabrics for the sportswear base layer
Textile Research Journal, 2011Co-Authors: Olga Troynikov, Wiah WardiningsihAbstract:This research seeks to investigate liquid Moisture Management properties of knitted fabrics of different wool/polyester and wool/bamboo blends of different ratios suitable for the base layer of sportswear. The fabrics were knitted in single jersey construction and their Moisture Management properties were assessed by using the Moisture Management Tester. Blending wool with polyester or wool with bamboo has improved Moisture Management properties of the fabrics in comparison to 100% wool and 100% bamboo fabrics. Out of nine fabrics studied, five fabrics were classified as Moisture Management fabrics that are suitable for the base layer of active sportswear.
