Comparative Analysis on Thermo-physiological Behavior of Eri Silk, Wool and Bamboo Knitted Fabrics Toward Sportswear

ABSTRACT

Layered fabrics are utilized for the development of active sport wear applications due to their thermo-physiological properties. In this study, nine different types of knitted fabrics were developed using mill spun yarns of Eri silk, Wool (worsted), and Bamboo with three different knit structures such as single jersey, single pique, and honeycomb. The thermo-physiological properties such as thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity, air permeability, and water vapor permeability were studied. Further to this, the moisture management properties such as wetting time, absorption rate, spreading speed, and maximum wet radius of the knitted fabrics were measured. Finally, the overall thermal comfort fabric was compared both subjective and objective manner and found that Eri silk based knitted honeycomb structure was highest rated than other samples.

摘要

层状织物由于其热生理特性而被用于开发积极的运动服装应用. 在这项研究中, 使用Eri丝、羊毛(精纺) 和竹子的工厂纺纱线, 开发了九种不同类型的针织面料, 具有三种不同的针织结构, 如单针织物、单针织品和蜂窝. 研究了其热导率、热阻、热吸收率、透气性和水蒸气渗透性等热生理特性. 此外, 还测定了针织物的润湿时间、吸水率、铺展速度和最大湿半径等水分管理性能. 最后, 从主观和客观两方面对织物的整体热舒适性进行了比较, 发现Eri真丝针织蜂窝结构比其他样品的热舒适性最高.
