Moisture Comfort Property of Fine Denier Polypropylene Fiber in Different Environmental Temperature Conditions

Abstract:

Moisture handling property of clothes using fiber is an important factor determininig clothes comfort property. In this paper, the moisture comfort property of fine denier polypropylene fiber fabric in different environmental temperature conditions was studied. By Textile-Microclimate Measuring Instrument, five kinds of test fabrics' dynamic experiments were performed in four different environmental temperature conditions. And fabrics' dynamic comprehensive index was obtained to characterize fabrics' dynamic moisture comfort property. Then, grey system theory was introduced to establish models that could describe the relationship between the static parameters and the dynamic comprehensive index. Results show that the dynamic moisture comfort property of fine denier polypropylene fiber fabric is the best. And fabrics with lower thickness, lower weight, and higher vertical wicking height will be more moisture-comfortable.
