ABSTRACT

Moisture management is one of the key performance criteria in today’s apparel comfort. It is defined as the ability of a garment to transport moisture away from the skin to the garment’s outer surface. This can be realized in numerous ways, by altering the fiber chemistry through chemical treatment, gents like hydrophilic polymer and amino silicone polyether copolymer. Other advanced methods including micro-denier fiber and its fabric, spacer fabric, multilayer fabric construction employed to improve the moisture management performance through a means of wetting, wicking, and moisture vapor transmission. To do so, some parameter needs to be constant like that of fiber type used and yarn construction in a given textile fabric since absorbency and quick dry of the material. Finally, the performance of the finish is tested and evaluated using the mechanism of wicking, wetting, water absorbency, air permeability, and moisture vapor transfer for different fabric sample. The main finding of the research was how to achieving the optimum comfort property of fabric by controlling moisture management finishing mechanisms.

摘要

水分管理是当今服装舒适度的关键性能标准之一。它被定义为服装将水分从皮肤输送到服装外表面的能力。这可以通过多种方式实现，通过化学处理改变纤维化学，如亲水聚合物和氨基硅酮聚醚共聚物。其他先进的方法包括微旦纤维及其织物、间隔织物、多层织物结构，通过润湿、芯吸和湿气传输的方式来提高水分管理性能。为此，由于材料具有吸收性和快干性，因此某些参数需要保持不变，例如给定纺织面料中所用纤维类型和纱线结构的参数。最后，整理剂的性能通过不同织物样品的芯吸、润湿、吸水性、透气性和湿气转移机制进行测试和评估。研究的主要发现是如何通过控制水分管理整理机制来实现织物的最佳舒适性。
