Moisture Management Property of fabrics is the ability to transport the liquid moisture from skin to the outer surface of the garment. Moisture management is of prime importance in present-day context as today's consumers not only look for aesthetics but also comfort in clothing. The present paper discusses on overall moisture management properties of selected knitted fabrics (Cotton, Modal, Bamboo and Silk) dyed with cannonball fruit extract using alum and pomegranate rind as mordants. Moisture management properties, such as wetting time of top and bottom fabric surfaces, maximum moisture absorption rates of top and bottom surfaces, maximum wetted radii of top and bottom surfaces, spreading speeds of top and bottom surfaces, and cumulative one-way transport capacity and overall moisture management capacity have been considered and correlated to the dyedcotton, silk, modal and bamboo single jersey knitted fabrics. Cotton and Silk show almost similar performance in absorption rate and AOTI is well related to OMMC. Silk shows the higher value ofAOTI and its performance is found to be very good. However the performance ofall dyed fabrics is rated as very good.
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.
