Wicking of woven fabrics
Abstract:
Textile fabrics play an important role in the daily life of every human mankind. They are used in various applications. There application is mainly governed by liquid transport property (wicking).The type weave and one type of warp & weft interaction to another interaction significantly affects the wicking property of clothing. The main aim of this research article is to study the interaction and weaves effect on wicking, absorbency, air permeability values.
Textile fabrics play an important role in the daily life of every human mankind. Their applications for many end users are governed by their liquid transport properties. The characterization of liquid flow of textile fabrics are useful to decide the flow of spin finish, dyeing behavior, transport of water through the textile, comfort of under clothing, and absorbency of towels. The phenomenon of liquid transport during sorption from one weave to another weave and one type of warp & weft interaction to another interaction is often overlooked even though its believed to be an important part of the absorption process in the fabric. the main goal of this research is to understand the effect of fabric structure and interaction effect on the overall liquid transport behavior of fabrics.
