There are a lot of products that feature excellent moisture management properties in the market. The producers use many ways to enhance moisture management properties such as changing the cross-section of the fibers, adding hydrophilic softening agents, changing the fabric structures, etc.
The way used in this research is changing the fabric structures. Additionally, emphasize on the double knitted fabrics. For there are technically two-layer in the double knitted fabrics, two-layer fabrics can have many different variations. The test methods to test the fabric samples in this research are AATCC195 through the MMT moisture management tester, and the dry test.
From the experiment results, the wicking points with tuck and miss stitch fabric samples have better moisture management property than knit and tuck stitch fabric samples, and the wicking points with knit and miss stitch fabric samples are the worst.
The theory of the higher density of the wicking points, the better its moisture management property is not always right. The density of the fabric samples wicking points has to be in a proper range.
