Study on the Knitting Process and Temperature Adjusting Performance of Outlast Fiber in Special Parts of Seamless Coat

Abstract:

This paper mainly studies the influence of fabric structure and the content of Outlast fiber on the effects of temperature adjusting performance of seamless temperature-regulating knitted fabric. The experiment knitted 9 seamless temperature-regulating knitted fabrics with three kinds of structures and ratios of Outlast/viscose and tested the true effect of temperature adjusting of them on four parts of upper body when ambient temperature suddenly changed by using the sweating fabric manikinwater. The experimental results show that it will improve the comprehensive temperature adjusting property of the seamless temperature-regulating knitted garment , if its structure separately in bosom, abdomen, dorsum and arm is respectively weft plain, 3+1 rib, pile stitch and weft plain containing 25%,50%,50% and 25% amount of Outlast fiber respectively.
