Abstract
Effective management of the microclimate interface of the human skin-fabric-external environment significantly contributes to enhancing the wearer’s comfort experience. In this paper, a fast sweat-absorbing anti-corrosion durable fabric was prepared based on fiber surface modification and textile structure design to improve the comfort and prolong the service life of fabrics. By the formation of self-assembled membranes (SAMS), silver-plated yarns with excellent oxidative resistance and hydrophobicity were obtained. A durable unidirectional water-transport fabric (DUWF) was received through a weft-double weave organization with hydrophobic silver-plated yarns as the inner weft and hydrophilic lyocell yarns as the outer weft. Spontaneous moisture conduction was achieved by the wettability gradient of two sets of weft threads and one set of warp threads in the thickness direction. DUWF had an electromagnetic shielding effect of over 65 dB, a unidirectional moisture transfer index of 863.33 %, an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 2000, a fast- cooling capacity of 3.3 °C, and good long-term stability and repeatability. The multifunctional smart fabrics proposed in this paper enhance the moisture and heat manageability of conventional garments and pave the way for further research on comfortable protective clothing.
