Effect of 3-Dimensional Knitted Spacer Fabric Characteristics on its Thermal and Compression Properties

Original language description

Spacer fabrics consist of three layers of fabrics which have ability to complement and maximize the essential thermal clothing comfort for various applications. Clothing comfort is also defined by the tactile sensation felt by a subject through the mechanical interactions between the body and the garment. In this research work, the thermal and compression properties of polyester/polypropylene and polyester/polypropylene/Lycra blended knitted spacer fabrics have been studied in relation to density, thickness, stitch density and type of spacer yarns (monofilament or multifilament).The objective of this study is to determine the influence of spacer fabric factors such as the constituent fibres, density, thickness, stitch density, type of spacer yarns and knit characteristics on the fabrics properties such as air permeability, relative water vapour permeability, thermal conductivity and work of compression. The experiment results show that the thermal conductivity and effusivity are closely related to the fabric characteristics such as the raw materials, type of spacer yarn, density, thickness and tightness of surface layer. Also, this study established that the compression resilience of the fabric made up of monofilament spacer yarn was better than that of the multifilament spacer yarn in spacer knitted fabrics
