Present study is focussed on the effect of seam on the moisture transmission in liquid form. Behaviour of actual sweat is found to be different from pure water used while evaluating the performance of multilayer clothing systems in seamed and unseamed condition in terms of their in-plane (wetting time) & cross-plane moisture transmission and overall moisture management capacity. Uni-directional seam shows higher wetting time at the inner surface as well as better cross-plane transmittance, and hence better overall moisture management capacity as compared to bi-directional stitched and unseamed fabrics. In all the cases, sweat shows less wetting time than water. Multi-layered ensemble with polyester spacer fabric as middle layer exhibits better overall moisture management properties in comparison to layered ensemble with fleece fabric as middle layer both in seamed and unseamed conditions. Seam type plays a most significant role followed by type of layered ensembles then solution type in affecting the overall moisture management behaviour of seamed ensembles.

接缝对利用汗水和水的多层整体的液体传输行为的影响

目前的研究集中于接缝对液体形式的水分传输的影响。在评估多层衣物系统在接缝和非接缝条件下的面内（湿润时间）和跨面湿气透过率以及总体湿气管理能力方面，发现实际汗水的行为与所使用的纯水不同。与双向缝合和未缝合的织物相比，单向接缝的内表面显示出更长的润湿时间以及更好的跨平面透射率，因此具有更好的整体水分管理能力。在所有情况下，汗水的润湿时间都比水少。在接缝和非接缝条件下，与以绒毛织物为中间层的多层合奏相比，以聚酯间隔织物为中间层的多层合奏具有更好的整体湿度管理性能。接缝类型起着最重要的作用，其次是分层合奏的类型，然后是溶液类型在影响接缝合奏的整体湿度管理行为方面。
