In today's world, textile fabrics are manufactured so as to provide their users not only with comfort of use, but also with safety and health protection. On the other hand, demanding and sophisticated customers as well as fabric designers are looking

In contrast to woven fabrics, knitted fabrics allow higher productivity, lower production costs and investments, better comfort and hand properties, along with higher extent of penetration due to low twist of yarns and open structure. Recently, funct

In this study, three different reactive dyed single jersey cotton knits produced from different yarn counts, i.e., Ne 20/1, Ne 24/1, and Ne 30/1 were selected for studying the impact of functional finishes, i.e., soft, bio-antibacterial, and water-repellent, on their performance and comfort-properties. It was found that the variation in the evaluat...

This study demonstrated that the changes in functional and comfort properties of knitted cotton fabrics were determined by the knitted structure as well as type and concentration of finishing agent. To improve the comfort properties, one should ensure the smoothness of fabric surface, air permeability, heat transmittance as well as hydrophilicity o...
