- Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to change the loop length of knitted fabrics with a mesh structure and to investigate the effect of loop length differences on thermal and moisture transmission properties. For this purpose, six fabrics with different loop lengths were produced in two different knittings and yarn types. Thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity, thermal resistance, air permeability and moisture management properties of these fabrics were measured according to standard test methods. The results showed that as the yarn gets finer and loop length increases, the air permeability values will increase. It was observed that as the loop length increase, the overall moisture management capacity (OMMC) and thermal absorptivity of the fabrics will decrease. The thermal resistance values of two ply textured polyester mesh knitted fabrics decreased with increasing density and the highest loop length two ply textured polyester mesh knitted fabric showed the highest thermal resistance value.
