Abstract:

This study reports an investigation of the effect of different cellulose materials and yarn feeding patterns on thermo-physiological comfort, sensorial comfort, serviceability/pilling and ultraviolet properties. An interlock structure with a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic material was developed in such a way that each material was prominent in consecutive wales or courses. The yarn feed pattern in interlock fabric overcomes the limitation of plaited single jersey fabrics. Cellulose – based hydrophilic natural and regenerated fibres were used i.e cotton, model and viscose rayon, as well as hydrophobic synthetic fibre i.e. polyester for manufacturing fabric samples. By comparing the results, it became clear that wale-wise alternate yarns provide better overall moisture management properties than course-wise. Similarly, for fabric handle and pilling properties, wale-wise alternate yarn provides better properties. Interlock fabrics with the TransDRY® Technology effect are liable for use in protective textiles, medical textiles and in other functional textiles/children’s clothing.
