“…40 Similarly, yarn constructed of micro denier polyester fibers has a higher volume-specific surface area for a given linear density due to the greater number of finer fibers per unit cross-section of the yarn, resulting in higher capillary force for improved wicking. [41][42][43] On the other hand, among warp knit, K7 and K8 are also made up of conventional polyester yarns, whereas K7 is lighter than K8, while the size of mesh opening in K8 is larger than that of K7. The properties of fabrics such as weight, thickness, and absorbency were tested according to standard test methods of ASTM D3776, ASTM D1777, and AATCC TM 79, respectively.…”

The moisture management performance of fabrics under profuse sweating (i.e. the ability to sweat absorb, spread, evaporate, drip, and dry) is crucial to the wearer’s comfort and performance, and should therefore be accurately and realistically tested for quality evaluation and product development. However, it is challenging to measure these properties simultaneously under realistic conditions using current evaluation techniques or testing standards. In this article an advanced version of the novel sweating simulator (NSS) is presented with which the skin temperature, sweat temperature, active body posture, and varying sweating rates can be simulated and multiple fabric moisture management properties including liquid sweat accumulation rate, multi-directional spreading rates, variations in downflow rates caused by increasing liquid accumulation, discharge rate, evaporation rate, drying rate, and drying time can be measured concurrently and in real-time during the simulated sweating and drying phases. The high accuracy and excellent reproducibility of NSS measurements were demonstrated through testing eight different kinds of commercial moisture management fabrics to show the potential applications of the NSS. It is believed that the novel sweating simulator, owing to its comprehensive testing capability, will play a key role in the development of next-generation moisture management fabrics for numerous apparel and technical applications.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most common synthetic polymer used in the textile sector by virtue of its unique superior performance attributes. However, the comfort characteristics of PET fabrics, such as their inadequate sweat-absorbing capability, low affinity for most dyestuff classes, and susceptibility to the accumulation of electrostatic charge, make them unfavorable compared to natural fibers. Rendering PET fabrics with hydrophilic and antistatic properties is difficult due to the lack of reactive functional groups. Herein, a long-lasting eco-friendly strategy to impart some desirable properties to PET fabrics was developed. The PET fabric was saponified in an aqueous caustic soda solution, followed by treatment with an amino acid, namely lysine, aspartic acid, serine, tyrosine, or cysteine, as a coupling agent, and eventually, the fabric was finished with the protein biopolymer gelatin using the pad-dry-cure method. The effects of treatment of PET fabric with the aforementioned reagents on its surface hydrophilicity, roughness, antistatic, thermal stability, ultraviolet protection, air permeability, yellowness, bending stiffness, and tensile properties were monitored. The discrepancy between the chemical structures of the untreated and finished fabrics was determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as well as by determining the carboxylic and nitrogen contents. The morphological and crystal structures of the treated fabrics were examined using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction pattern, respectively. The results indicate that a maximum add-on was obtained upon treatment of the saponified PET fabrics with 0.5 M lysine followed by 7.5% (on the weight of the fiber) gelatin using the pad-dry-cure method.The finished PET fabrics exhibited improved hydrophilic and antistatic properties with adequate protection against UV rays.Ingeneral, treatment of PET fabrics with gelatin, using a bi-functional amino acid as a coupling agent, is an effective and durable method to improve some performance and comfort features of PET fabric without having a remarkable negative effect on the fabric’s mechanical properties.
