Sports socks fabrics produced from polyester, polypropylene, their modified forms Thermocool®, Polycolon®, in three different structures (single jersey, piquet, terry) were investigated for their skin-fabric friction, permeability (air and water vapour), liquid absorption and transfer (absorbency, immersion, absorption capacity, wetback and drying) properties. According to the results, the effect of structure is dominant for frictional characteristics but focusing on the material, polypropylene created a bulkier and lighter structure with lower friction coeffi¬cients, an advantage for sports socks. The effect of structure is greater than the material also for some thermal comfort parameters, e.g. air permeability and absorbency. Focusing on materials, besides their better liquid transfer characteristics, modified forms of both fibres had worse performances for air permeability and absor¬bency compared to their standard forms. Absorption capacity, wetback and drying performances were related to fabric density besides the polyester’s higher regain capacity. While Polycolon® had superiority for wetback performance against standard polypropylene, this was not the case for Thermocool®; however, both modified materials showed apparent superiority for drying periods. Piquet structures were advantageous for absorption capacity and wetback performances for polypropylene. For sports socks parts, specific needs can be met by changing the fabric structure. Considering the materials, polypropylene and Polycolon® can be recommended for both thermal and tactile aspects.
Bu çalışmada, giysilerin termal konforunu geliştirmek için kullanılan faz değiştiren madde içerikli mikrokapsüller poliamid sportif çoraplara uygulanmış, kumaşın ısıl düzenleme özellikleri objektif T-History ölçümleri ve subjektif önkol denemeleri ile incelenmiştir. Üretilen mikrokapsüllerin kumaş yapısındaki varlığı FT-IR ve SEM analizleri ile belirlenmiştir. Bu uygulama sonucunda kumaşın yüzey sürtünme, hava geçirgenliği, sıvı absorbsiyon, transfer ve kapasitesi ile kuruma davranışlarındaki değişimler de incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, kapsül uygulaması, T-History ve termal kamera ölçümleriyle de tespit edildiği şekilde, depolanan ısıya bağlı olarak vücudu belirli bir süre daha serin tutmuş ve bu durum on yıkama sonucunda da hissedilmiştir. Ayrıca mikrokapsül uygulaması, beklendiği şekilde hava geçirgenliğinde ve absorbsiyon kapasitesinde anlamlı düşüşler oluşturmuş, kuruma süresini kısaltmış, fakat kumaşın hidrofilitesi, kullanılan duvar maddesine bağlı olarak artmıştır. Isı tamponlama etkisi ve poliamid kumaşın hidrofilitesinin artması, termal konforu iyileştirilmiş, şartlara uyum sağlayan akıllı kumaşlar açısından elde edilen iki önemli sonuçtur.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
