Moisture management properties of wool/ polyester and wool/bamboo knitted fabrics for the sportswear base layer
2011
This research seeks to investigate liquid moisture management properties of knitted fabrics of different wool/polyester and wool/bamboo blends of different ratios suitable for the base layer of sportswear. The fabrics were knitted in single jersey construction and their moisture management properties were assessed by using the Moisture Management Tester. Blending wool with polyester or wool with bamboo has improved moisture management properties of the fabrics in comparison to 100% wool and 100% bamboo fabrics. Out of nine fabrics studied, five fabrics were classified as moisture management fabrics that are suitable for the base layer of active sportswear.
