Study the Wet-Absorb and Fast-Dry Properties of the Coolplus Fiber/Cotton Compound Fabrics

Abstract:

In order to understand the relation between the wet-absorb and fast-dry properties and the blended ratio of the fabric made from Coolplus fiber and cotton, four kinds of fabric were prepared and the wet-absorb and fast-dry properties were studied. It was found that, the wet-absorb and fast-dry properties of fabric were improved with increasing the Coolplus fiber content and there was a good moisture absorption perspiration performance when its content was accounted for 60%. After 30 min, the wicking height of the Coolplus/cotton blended fabric was about 18.2 cm and the residual moisture rate was less than 7%, showing the great wet-absorb and fast-dry properties.
