Research on Influence of Fabric Texture and Stretch on Absorption and Quick-Drying of Seamless Underwear

Abstract

In this paper,the 5 types of fabrics were knitted by plain-plated,1+1 and 1+3 float-plated,1+1 and 2+2 tuck-plate stitch and density P6,which are made of cooldry absorption and quick-drying polyester yarns as the facing yarn and the core-spun spandex yarn of nylon as the ground yarns. The absorption and quick-drying were tested and analyzed. The significance of influence of fabric textures and stretch on ab-sorption and quick-drying was analyzed by means of two variance analysis.Results show that the influence of texture and stretch on absorption and quick-drying are significant.The absorption and spreading speed and the accumulative one-way transport capacity of 1+3 and 1+1 float-plated and 2+2 tuck-plated fabric are bigger.As the fabric texture is the same, the absorption and spreading speed are smaller and the accumulative one-way transport capacity are worse with the increase of fabrics stretch.The research results can provide a certain reference for the design & development and choice of seamless underwear.
