Engineering of Knitted Cotton Fabrics for Optimum Comfort in a Hot Climate
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2016, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
Cotton knitted fabrics are popular for summer-wear and outer-wear due to their comfort. The typical porous structure of knitted fabrics, however, increases the risk of exposure of human skin to UV rays, resulting in skin cancer. Therefore a trade-off is required between the comfort and UV ray resistance of the fabric. In this study, an attempt was made to engineer single jersey and 1×1 rib knitted fabrics with optimum comfort and desired UV resistance. It was found that 1×1 rib knitted fabrics could provide better comfort and UV protection with respect to single jersey fabrics manufactured on the same gauge knitting machine.
