Abstract
In recent years, the improvement of scientific techniques has significantly promoted the quality of peoples lives as well as concepts of health care. This study manufactures bamboo charcoal (BC)/stainless steel (SS) covered yarns, which are then made into four types of elastic BC/SS warp-knitted fabrics. The far infrared emissivity, anion amount, and air permeability of the resulting fabrics are then evaluated to determine the influence of the warp-knit structure and amount of layers. The experimental results show that the far infrared emissivity of BC/SS warp-knitted fabrics decreases when the lamination layer number increases. Single-layer BC/SS warp-knitted fabrics all have a far infrared emissivity beyond 0.8.
