ABSTRACT

The wearing comfort of garment is governed by two kinds of characteristics such as moisture and thermaltransport properties and mechanical properties of fabrics. The porosity influenced by yarn and fabric structural parametersis known as main factor for wearing comfort of garment related to the moisture and thermal transport properties. Thisstudy investigated effect of porosity of composite yarns to the moisture and thermal comfort properties of compositefabrics made of hollow composite DTY and ATY yarns. The theoretical porosity and pore size were inverselyproportional to cover factor of fabric, but cover factor was not correlated with experimental pore size. The wickingproperty of hydrophobic PET filament fabric showed inferior result irrespective of porosity, pore size and cover factor. The drying rate was superior at composite fabrics with high pore size and low cover factor, and pore size was dominantfactor for drying property. On the other hand, thermal conductivity of composite fabric was mainly influenced by coverfactor and not influenced by porosity. Air permeability was influenced by both porosity and cover factor and was highlyincreased with increasing porosity and decreasing fabric cover factor.
