COMPARISON OF MOISTURE TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF THE VARIOUS WOVEN FABRICS

Clothing comfort is an attractive topic of clothing science and today it is known that clothing comfort have a good relation with the several factors such as thermal, tactile properties, etc of fibers and also fabrics. Moisture management property of fabrics is also another important parameter related with clothing comfort. In this study, it was focused on the evaluation of indices of liquid moisture management properties, grading and classification methods of woven fabrics with various fibers by using MMT tester. It was found that unlike 100% Cellulosic and PES fabrics, Cellulosic/PES blended fabrics allowed the liquid absorption and transportation efficiently.
