  Abstract

Fabric liquid moisture transport properties in multi-dimensions, called moisture management properties, influence clothing comfort. For clothing comfort, moisture must be quickly removed from the body surface in the form of liquids and vapors. This removal depends on the fiber type and textile structure such as yarn and fabric type used. In the fabrics requiring elasticity, such as tights, sportswear, swimwear, underwear, and corsetry, the use of elastane yarn gradually increases, and these fabrics are also fabrics that require high clothing comfort. Because of this in this study, it is aimed that moisture management properties are comparatively researched in plain knit fabrics containing elastane at different ratios. For this aim plain knit without elastane and 3 different fabrics with elastane obtained by 19.7 tex cotton yarn and 44 dtex elastane yarn were used as samples. Elastane yarn was fed to feeders as 1/1, 2/1, and full ratios. Moisture management properties of the samples were determined by an SDL Atlas MMT test device according to AATCC 195 standard. The study results show that elastane content in plain knit fabric strongly affects moisture management properties, and overall moisture management capability (OMMC) decreases with increasing elastane ratio in the fabrics, and thus, high elastane content reduces clothing comfort. Plain knit has the best performance, whereas full cotton/elastane fabric has the worst performance, and 1
