“…Specifically, at the yarn scale, the key influential factors include spinning system, fiber type, yarn count, structural geometry, applied twist, tensile strain, etc. In recent decades, for example, Lu et al 17 compared the yarn wicking behavior from spinning system and twist perspective, and pointed out that the twist level was found to influence the wickability of traditional ring and compact-siro ring spun staple yarns. The wickability of cotton/acrylic rotor blend yarns increased with an increase in acrylic content inside a rotor yarn and with the use of coarse yarns, reported by Öztürk et al 18 The wicking effect of cotton woven fabrics in different directions and wicking effect of its constituent yarns has been investigated by Mallick and De.…”

The liquid transport capacity in a fibrous textile is of great crucial in comprehensively assessing the final moisture management. In this work, several materials were prepared based on cotton rovings by regulating some technological parameters such as twist and ply number, and the effects of the above key parameters on vertical wicking behavior of cotton roving-based materials were investigated. To effectively improve the wicking rate of materials, three hydrophilic schemes were introduced. The experimental results indicated that the maximum vertical wicking height was obtained when samples treated with a mixed solution of 1.5% JFC and 3% NaOH. Subsequently, several cotton roving-based materials were fabricated based on the optimized hydrophilic treatment. It was found that, the as-prepared materials exhibit a twist-reduced wicking effect, and a ply number-strengthen effect. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms in the above two cases were unraveled. Finally, our prepared cotton roving-based materials served as a nutrient absorbing medium were demonstrated. Such work provides certain support for an in-depth understanding of wicking behavior of microporous textile structures.

“…The structural parameters of knitted fabrics and majority of physical and mechanical properties depend on the technical characteristics of knitting machine and properties of yarns. The yarn diameter, origin of fibres, knitting structure, course and wale density, yarn twist level and linear density are the main factors affecting the porosity of knitted fabrics [15][16][17][18][19].…”

The main goal of the presented study was to develop new multi-layered weft-knitted structure for thermal insulation and to investigate the dynamic of the heat transfer through this fabric. For knitting of outer and inner layers of this structure, different raw materials of yarns were used, i.e. wool, cotton, polyester and acrylic yarns. All the newly developed multi-layered weft-knitted fabrics show thermal insulation as, after 1 h of observation, temperature on the outer layer of all tested fabrics does not reach 40℃, i.e. the temperature of a heated plate. The results of this research showed that the nature of the yarns has a significant influence on the air permeability and dynamic of the heat exchange through the multi-layered structure, as it influences porosity of the knitted fabric. The results showed that the best fabric was the one where the outer layers are knitted from woollen yarns and the inner layer from polyester filament yarns.

“…A comparison of the prepared TH@CS with the reported materials revealed that the transport height of TH@CS far exceeded that of the other materials (Fig. 3g), 24,25,26,27,28,29 illustrating the great superiority of the core-shell structure and the twofold hierarchical structure for self-driven ultra-long distance anti-gravity water transport.…”

Self-driven anti-gravity water transport has attracted extensive attention in the fields. Herein, inspired by the multiple structures of trees, we propose a self-driven ultra-long-distance anti-gravity water transport device with a core-shell structure in the radial direction and a twofold hierarchical structure in the axial direction. The core and the shell of the device are composed of a hydrophilic ordered nanofiber bundle and a glass tube respectively, which can provide powerful capillary driving force and low flow/evaporation resistance for spontaneous water lifting. The core is equipped with a bottom-up decreasing pore size and non-uniformly distributed carbon nanotubes to form an axial twofold hierarchical structure, offering Laplace pressure difference and negative pressure as extra driving forces for water transport. The device achieves a significant breakthrough in ultra-long-distance water transport of 1070 mm (one order of magnitude higher than existing materials), which also exhibits long-term transport stability for over 30 days. The tree-inspired novel structural design of the device will provide new insights into the energy-free transport of fluids.
