Effects of Wrapping Number of Constituent Functional Yarns on Moisture Transferring/Antibacterial Knits

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the PET/nylon/PET wrapped yarns are made by applying a double warp yarn process. The wrap materials are moisture transferring polyester (PET) yarns and antibacterial nylon yarns, while the core is PET yarns. Such wrapped yarns are made into moisture transferring/antibacterial knits, after which their mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, and water absorbency are evaluated. The test results show that the knits that are composed of wrapped yarns with a wrapping number being 10 turns/cm demonstrate optimal mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, and water absorbency.
