Abstract :
7 kinds of Coolmax fibers blended with regenerated cellulose fibers were chosen. Static moisture transfer and moisture comfort ability were tested and analyzed. The regenerated cellulose fibers were pearl fiber, tencel, modal, especially the pearl fiber was a creative cellulose fiber. The experimental contained wicking effect test, drop-proliferation test, regains test, water vapor permeability test, permeability test and quick dry test. The experimental data were analyzed using cluster analysis to evaluate the properties of Coolmax fibers blended with regenerated cellulose fibers. Finally, it was found that after Coolmax fiber blendsed with regenerated cellulose fibers, it could improve the wearing comfort ability of the Coolmax sport apparel in the static and also attach the quick dry.
