“…with different floats) on the wicking performance of woven fabrics. The wicking behavior of cotton jersey, rib, and interlock knitted fabrics under different deformation state was investigated by Priyalatha and Raja, 16 who found that the area of wicking is higher in front than back side of fabric at any given period of time, and the fabric wicking under dynamic condition has been increased than the static condition. Recently, Wang et al 17,18 pointed out the wicking properties of an elastic cotton/lycra woven fabric were closely related to various external factors such as the extension applied, the temperature of the wetting liquid and the relative humidity.…”

Wicking ability of textiles is a key indicator in determining the physiological comfort provided by a fabric. The property is shaped by various factors internal and external to the fabric. Herein, the effects of some external factors such as the degree of (fabric) extension, the wetting liquid’s temperature and relative humidity on the vertical wicking behavior of a previously prepared warp stretch woven fabric were investigated. The fabric, which could be reversibly extended up to 60%, was prepared using a nylon/spandex air-covered yarn in the warp and cotton yarn in the weft. The results indicated that these external factors had a great influence on the vertical wicking equilibrium height with the degree of fabric extension having a more pronounced effect compared with the other two factors. Furthermore, extension and relative humidity were negatively related to the height of the vertical wicking, whilst an increase in liquid temperature resulted in an increase in vertical wicking height. The underlying mechanisms associated with these effects were examined using a specially constructed test chamber and tensioning device. The experimental data were also verified using the classical Laughlin-Davies model, and the results demonstrated the proposed wicking model could be used to predict the changes in fabric wicking height. These findings provide a more in-depth understanding of the wicking behavior of stretchable textiles in a comprehensive and objective manner.

“…The mutual interaction between liquid and a fabric depends on the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the constituent fibers, the surface geometry characteristics of the yarn/fabric assembly, the volume (or droplet size) and character of the liquids and some external factors (e.g., the tension applied to a fabric, environmental conditions). 1,2,[7][8][9][10][11][12] Recent advances in work with respect to the transverse wicking behavior of textile fabrics are as follows. For example, a cyclic stress instrument was developed by Raja et al, 12 and the effect of parameters (e.g., extension rate, cyclic extension percentage and liquid flow rate) on the transverse wicking behavior of cotton/Lycra knitted fabric was studied.…”

“…It was used to clarify how perspiration is transported in fabric based on within-a-yarn and yarn-to-yarn wicking. The blood droplet impact and wicking dynamics on fabrics were studied by Wang et al 20 The transverse wicking behavior of knitted fabrics under different deformation states was investigated by Priyalatha and Raja, 9 and it was found that the wicking area at the front and back sides of fabrics behaved differently. However, to the best of our knowledge, almost no work has focused on the transverse wickability of elastic woven fabric structures under different events.…”

The ability of a fabric to wick moisture away from the human body directly determines the moisture management ability of any given textile, and thereby has a great influence on the comfort offered by garments made from that textile. In this paper, the effects of tensile extension and liquid drop height on the transverse wicking behavior of a warp stretch woven fabric were systematically investigated. By virtue of the unique structure of the nylon/spandex air-covered warp yarn, the woven fabric has a denser and tighter surface, which facilitates its warp elastic stretchability beyond 60%. Furthermore, an acceptable cyclic tensile behavior at an extension of 30% was obtained, indicating the superior mechanical robustness of the fabric to a certain extent. The experimental results demonstrated that the transverse wicking performances of the fabric, including the wetting time and liquid spreading area, were dependent on the tensile extensions and the heights between the water droplet and the fabric surface. Specifically, the wetting time increased with an increase of tensile extension or a decrease of liquid drop height. The spreading area of the water droplet increases as a function of the wicking time, and it fits a power relation appropriately. In addition, the water vapor transmission behavior of our fabric during stretch was clarified. Such work is essential to get an in-depth evaluation of the wicking behavior of complex stretchable fabric structures.
