  Abstract

The functional improvement and high sensitivity of textiles should be combined with advanced technology and aesthetic of environmental sustainability to cope with the ever-changing environment. In this study, the physical properties of a shaggy double knit of carbon nanotube (CNT) and ceramic composite thermal yarn (TYn) with napping and shaggy finished textiles were investigated to achieve high sensitivity and comfortable heat retention. The surface properties of the shaggy double knit were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the mechanical properties by the Kawabata Evaluation System (KES) and the elements of the CNT composite yarn by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Experiments on the heat retention of the shaggy double knit were conducted to determine the warmth retention, thermal resistance by Clo value, and surface temperature compared with those of regular polyester (PET) and PET/TYn/polyurethane (PU). Comfort properties determined by measuring the water vapor permeability (WVP) and air permeability demonstrated that the double knit can be used to produce comfortable garments. Durability was confirmed by measuring the warmth retention, Qmax, and the washing fastness was analyzed by the satisfactory maintenance of the physical appearance. The farinfrared (FIR) emissivity properties of PET/TYn/PU contributed to its enhanced performance, but it is necessary to ensure that the effect is stable. The results obtained in this study demonstrate that shaggy double knit with insulation composite yarn can be used in high sensitivity fashion clothing due to its improved and comfortable heat retention properties, and further advanced research is expected to be performed in this field.
