Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of knitted fabric structures and material composition on moisture management properties. Fiber type and fabric structure have significant influence on moisture management properties of knitted fabrics. In this article, single jersey, plaited jersey and hybrid plaited jersey knitted fabric samples with different yarn compositions were prepared. Air permeability and liquid moisture management properties including wetting time, max wetted radius, absorption rate, oneway transportation capability and OMMC were evaluated. Plaited jersey and hybrid plaited jersey structures have better moisture management properties than that of single jersey knitted structures. In comparison with plaited jersey and hybrid plaited jersey structures, air permeability of single jersey knitted structures is better.
