An analysis of experimental data on plain knitted fabric dimensions reveals that the area ( Ks) and linear ( Kc, Kw) parameters are not tenable propositions, at least for rotor spun cotton yarns. Fabric dimensions are shown to depend not only on loop length but also strongly on tightness factor and relatively weakly on machine gauge and yarn linear density.

In this paper, welt knitted fabric reinforced composites were fabricated and its tensile properties were measured. Changing knitted structure from plain knit to welt knit caused changing mechanical properties, particularly isotropic tensile strength could be obtained. The fracture mode of welt knitted fabric reinforced composite was similar that of plain knitted fabric reinforced composite.

The main content dealt with in the paper is to present a kind of weft-knitted spacer fabric with high porosity. It is a kind of three-dimensional textile fabric with a sandwich structure that consists of a middle layer of multifilament and two outer layers of plain-knitted fabric. Compared with traditional warp-knitted spacer fabric as cushion mats, weft-knitted spacer fabric is well used as apparel for good softness, thermal/moisture comfort, and air permeability. Therefore, three structures were designed and nine samples were prepared by choosing plain-knitted fabric as the outer layers and selecting soft and thin multifilament as a middle layer. Experimental results show that this kind of weft-knitted spacer fabrics has high porosity, greater than 86%, and also demonstrate that the weft-knitted spacer fabric is suitable for comfortable apparel based on experimental results of air permeability, compression properties, stiffness, and thermal insulation properties.

There have been three major concerns regarding the clothing comfort, psychological, sensorialand thermo-physiological comfort. However, there is lack of work on thermo-physiological comfort ofknitted fabric. Hence the present study is conducted to fulfill this gap by analyzing physiological comfortin sense of air permeability, absorbency, vertical wicking and drying time of plain knitted fabric. Clothingcomfort is mainly affected by type of fibres, yarn properties, structure of fabric, finishing treatments, andclothing conditions. In this study the effect of various yarn counts and polyester/cotton blend ratios on thecomfort of knitted fabric has been analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Itis depicted from the results that the selected variables put direct influences on the thermo-physiologicalcomfort of the knitted fabric. The increasing share of polyester in the blend and the fine count for yarnput negative impact on the comfort of the knitted fabric.
