“…Yarn composition and fineness also had significant impact on WT , MWR and SS . 35 The capillary wick effect in the composite PA/PET was improved by the cross-section nylon and reverse twisting. Thus, the average WT of samples made of PA/PET yarn (2.89 s) was shorter than that of samples made of PE yarn (3.89 s).…”

It is difficult to meet the needs of multi-functional comfortable fabric through the single functional fibers on the market. The aim of this work was to develop a kind of summer comfortable woven fabric with coolness through the combination of different functional fibers. Blended yarn of bamboo and polyester with grooves was chosen as the warp yarn, which was responsible for moisture absorption and transportation. Nylon filament with a cross-section and fine-denier polyester filament was chosen to twist reversely as a composite weft yarn to provide the coolness function and moisture conduction for fabric. As a comparative weft yarn, polyethylene was chosen as another type of weft yarn. Twelve samples were prepared containing three structures. The effects of fabric structure, weft yarn composition and fineness on the coolness and thermal-wet comfort were evaluated and investigated, including thermal-physiological comfort properties, moisture management properties, the wicking effect and the drying performance. The result showed that the weave structure, weft yarn composition and fineness had a significant influence on the coolness and thermal-wet comfort properties. Fabric woven with plain weave structure contributed to heat dissipation and dynamic coolness. The float yarn in the 2/1 twill and mesh structure was beneficial to promote water transportation vertically. The results also suggested that polyethylene yarn was preferred for coolness fabric, but the liquid moisture management and drying performance of polyethylene fabric should be further improved.

[6,32] 2.2.1 | Preparation of double-layered plated fabrics First, Figure 1 shows the complete preparation of the double-layered knitted fabric covered by photothermal nanofibers. The materials used were polyester filament yarn for the down hydrophobic layer (i.e., low surface energy layer) as a water-supplied material and staple cotton yarn for the upper hydrophilic layer (i.e., high surface energy layer) as a heat-absorber and water-diffuser material into the whole evaporation area.…”

“…These media have to allow dry air, water vapor, and liquid moisture to diffuse into and out of their porous structures. [5] The evaporative performance is related to many different influence factors like the effect of porous fibrous material and its structure, [6,7] surface morphology, [8] ambient conditions, [9] solar light illumination intensity, [10] and solar energy absorptivity of the fibrous material, [11] and so on. Recently, solar-driven evaporation based on solar energy harvesting technology has played a vital role in various industrial fields, such as freshwater production, [12] modern power generation, [13,14] and personal outdoor clothing, especially in low-temperature weather activities.…”

Personal protection and perspiration evaporation are major features of a functional clothing system intended for outdoor environment applications. The aim of this article is to investigate the dynamic performance of an advanced multifunctional textile under solar radiation. The influence of the fabric properties of the double‐layer structure and the optical property of the photothermal nanocomposite based‐porous membrane (polyacrylonitrile PAN/carbon nanotube CNT) on the evaporation performance were experimentally and numerically discussed. Initially, a dedicated experimental study was conducted to measure the actual evaporation performance of the functional fabric. Following this, a two‐dimensional multi‐fluid model, simulated using COMSOL software, is applicable to predict experimental evaporation rates with a reasonable accuracy of 90%. The results showed that the dense structure had a greater wicking‐flow rate of 0.5 cm2 s−1 but lower evaporation performance in contrast to the permeable fabric. The incorporation of the photothermal nanofibers into the double‐layer fabric structure enhanced the surface‐localized heating capacity. Through the evaporation process, compared to conventional fabric, the advanced fabric structure exhibited approximately 3.5–4.4°C higher outer surface temperature. We concluded that the proposed multi‐layer structure has excellent potential to enhance the solar absorption efficiency in the visible range by 50% on average. Besides, the improved evaporation performance of the functional structure was 48% and 55%, respectively, under 0.6 and 1.0 sun illumination. In addition to the clothing field, this study can be extended for wide‐reaching applications based on solar vapor generation systems.

“…The commonly used method to enhance the moisture management performance of fabrics is to fabricating double-layer fabrics with a gradient of wettability on the inner and outer surfaces. [10][11][12] Besides, yarn linear density, loop length, and fabric thickness are also important factors for the development of a good moisture management function. [13][14][15] There is also a change in the fabric finishing process to give the fabric good moisture management performance.…”

This article provides a knitting method for warp-knitted fabrics with good moisture management performance. By adjusting of the warp knitting machine (mainly the bar), the design of lay-up method of the yarn, the selection of the yarn, and the warp let-off tension, the yarn covering relationship has been adjusted. By using two kinds of fineness polyester DTY, cotton yarn and spandex, designing two kinds of warp-knitting structures, six different warp-knitted fabrics have been knitted. The moisture management performance of these knitted samples was compared and evaluated. The study found that the greater the difference between the inner yarn and the outer yarn, the better the moisture management ability of the fabric. Polyester DTY with 50D/14F on the inner side and polyester DTY with 75D/288F on the outer side have the best moisture management performance. The polyester DTY with 50D/14F on the inside and 9.83Tex cotton yarn on the outside have higher wetting time and absorption rate.
