Abstract
On the purpose of analysing the moisture management behaviour of knitted sportswear made of micro-polyester, texturized polyester and polyester spandex blend, knitted in three different structures, single jersey, 1 × 1 rib and interlock were systematically produced. Multidimensional liquid transport through moisture management tester and index properties of fabric samples have been analysed in this part of the paper. A comparative study of these results has been done in the next part of the paper with the results of dry rate performance, air permeability, water vapour permeability, vertical wicking height and some structural properties of the fabrics. According to analysis, it is observed that plain single jersey fabric being the most porous structure is the best suitable to achieve moisture comfort in sportswear among three fabric structures. Also, samples developed from micro-polyester are found better than texturized polyester and polyester spandex due to more capillary channels available to transport the liquid quickly from the top surface to bottom surface.
