ABSTRACT

Nowadays, there is a great interest on thermal comfort properties of textile products. In addition to fiber properties and fabric structure, the finishing applications influencing thermophysiological comfort and wetting properties are searched to contribute better characteristics to the garments. In this study, it was purposed to investigate the effect of various softeners on thermal comfort and wetting properties of the 100% bamboo viscose and bamboo/cotton blended knitted fabrics. The different softeners were applied to the fabrics by padding method. Furthermore, the washing durability of the softeners after 10 and 20 washing cycles was evaluated. Thermal comfort, water vapor permeability, and vertical capillary wetting measurements of the fabrics were performed. The results were evaluated statistically. According to the results, it was found that thermal resistance values of softened bamboo viscose and bamboo/cotton blended fabrics were lower than those of untreated and unwashed fabrics. Softening treatments increased thermal absorptivity values and supplied a cooler feeling. Moreover, the vertical capillary wetting values of the softened fabrics were lower than those of untreated fabrics.

摘要

如今，人们对纺织品的热舒适性能产生了浓厚的兴趣。除了纤维特性和织物结构外，还研究了影响热生理舒适性和润湿特性的整理应用，以使服装具有更好的特性。本研究旨在研究各种柔软剂对 100% 竹粘胶和竹/棉混纺针织物的热舒适性和润湿性的影响。通过浸轧法将不同的柔软剂应用于织物。此外，评估了柔软剂在 10 次和 20 次洗涤循环后的洗涤耐久性。对织物进行热舒适性、水蒸气渗透性和垂直毛细管润湿测量。结果进行了统计评估。根据结果​​，研究发现，柔软的竹粘胶和竹棉混纺织物的耐热值低于未经处理和未水洗的织物。软化处理增加了热吸收值并提供了凉爽的感觉。此外，软化织物的垂直毛细润湿值低于未处理织物。
