RESEARCH ON TRANSFER OF LIQUID WATER ABSORPTION OF KNITTED STRUCTURES FOR SOCKS DESTINATION

Abstract

For to adjust the heat, body removes heat. Depending on physical effort, it gives more or less moisture. Moisture removed from the body should be taken from the skin and directed outwards through clothing. This can be due to moisture absorption ability, and because of the capillary effect. This study is a part of a very extensive work on the influence of characteristics and raw materials, knitted structure and density on comfort properties of socks. If a high level of perspiration, moisture liquid, it is important that it be removed as quickly from skin and clothing led outside. From here can evaporate into the environment. This is achieved through the capillary effect of fabrics that may effectively transport moisture. Storage capacity and moisture transfer of a textile depends on the composition and structure. In laboratory conditions, methods for assessing the behavior of textiles against moisture is applied differentially depending on the state humidity: vapor or liquid. With this method of determining the capacity of absorbing water by capillary action, samples have dimensions of 200/200 mm and at one end is immersed in water. The samples knit were made in two versions of the fineness machine.
