Abstract
Abstract Comfortability of a fabric is achieved by improving the moisture management behavior of the knitwear. In our study, the moisture management behavior of polyester and cotton fibers blended in 100:0, 50:50, and 0:100 ratios in four different structures such as single jersey, cross tuck, cross miss, and twill at two different loop lengths, 0.29 and 0.32 cm, were studied. Objective fabric tests were conducted to analyze the thermal properties of various knitwear. The results clearly proved that the knit fabric made of 100 % polyester has better moisture management behavior and a considerable level of comfort. Therefore, polyester can be applied to active sportswear fabrics. The structure of the fabric and the length of the loops in the fabric further affect the moisture management behavior. The cross-stitch 100 % polyester knit fabric with a loop length of 0.32 has excellent moisture management behavior, which provides excellent moisture management property compared with all other samples.
