Abstract

Abstract By enhancing the knitted materials’ thermal comfort behavior, fabric comfort is produced. In this study, the thermal comfort properties of organic cotton and microdenier polyester blended in ratios of 100:0, 50:50, and 0:100 in four different structures (single jersey, cross tuck, cross miss, and twill) and at two different loop lengths (0.32 cm and 0.35 cm) were examined. The thermal comfort characteristics of several knitted fabrics were examined by objective fabric testing. The findings evidently showed that knitted fabrics comprising 100 % microdenier polyester exhibit excellent thermal comfort qualities and feature a commendable level of comfort, making them suitable for active sporting textiles. The fabric’s structure and the size of its loops have a great impact on the fabric’s thermal property. The knitted fabric manufactured from 100 % microdenier polyester with a cross-miss structure on a loop length of 0.35 cm exhibits a superior thermal comfort characteristic in comparison with the other samples.
