Abstract

The main aim of this work was study the effect of fiber composition on the moisture and thermal properties for sport wear knitted fabrics. We also studied the effect of using single and double layer fabric on the moisture and thermal properties of these fabrics. To know how heat and water are transported through each fabric, measurements of their physical properties (thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity, heat flow, relative water vapor permeability and air permeability) were made in laboratories. The effects of fiber composition and the clothing assembly (one or two layers) have a highly significant effect on both moisture and thermal properties of sport wear knitted fabrics and also there were a high correlation between fabric thickness, fabric porosity, fabric air permeability, the relative water vapor permeability and fabric thermal properties
