Comparative Analysis on Thermo-physiological Behavior of Eri Silk, Wool and Bamboo Knitted Fabrics Toward Sportswear

Eri silk, a wild silk variety available in the northeastern states of India, has better softness, tensile and thermal properties. The present study aimed to develop different knitted structures and investigate the influence of knitting process variables on the thermal comfort and wicking properties. Knitted single jersey and single pique fabric structures were produced with two sets of yarns – 25 tex and 14.32 tex with three levels of loop length. Thermal properties of the fabric were analysed using an Alambeta instrument, and the wicking ability was measured with an vertical wicking tester. Thermal comfort properties of eri silk were also compared with those of conventional mulberry silk, with the experiment result revealing that eri silk has better comfort values. A statistically significant correlation is found between knitting process parameters viz. the yarn count, loop length knitting structure and the thermal and wickability values of the fabrics.

Mechanical And Physical Properties

Natural and man-made fibres of natural origin are more and more widely used, while consideration of sustainability is constantly increasing. The properties and processing behaviour of newly introduced fibres of natural origin are usually compared and often predicted on the basis of widely investigated fibres; however, this prediction sometimes does not have any confirmed basis. Structural parameters and the majority of mechanical and physical properties of knitted fabrics depend on technical characteristics of the knitting machine, on the properties of yarns as well as on the origin of the raw material. This study attempts to develop knits from new natural peat fibres and their combination with widely used woollen, cotton and elastomeric Lycra yarns and to investigate the influence of peat fibre’s nature on structural parameters such as loop length, wale and course spacing, area density, the tightness factor and on main physical properties such as dimensional stability, air permeability and water adsorption.

Silk Yarn

Eri silk is one of the wild silk varieties which are mainly available in the north-eastern areas of India. It exhibits goodmechanical and thermal resistance properties. In this concern, the present study focused to develop a bi-layer knittedstructure made from Eri silk yarn as one side(next to skin) and on another side bamboo yarn knitted fabric. Similarly,Tencel knitted fabric was used instead of bamboo. Twenty-four bi-layer knitted fabrics were developed and thenanalysed for its thermal comfort property. The air permeability, and wick-ability were found to be higher and the thermalresistance was found to be higher for bi-layer plated interlocked knitted fabric made out of Eri silk compared to bambooand Tencel.

Seamless Knitting

Combined with seamless knitting technology, the temperature adjusting performance of Outlast viscose seamless knitted fabric is researched. Accepting differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the temperature adjusting performance tests of samples determined by the seamless knitting process design are done. Comparative analysis of endothermic and exothermic temperature ranges, peak temperatures, influence of interwoven ratios and weave structures on fabric ability of heat absorption, accumulation and release is studied. DSC results show that Outlast viscose seamless knitted fabrics have good temperature adjusting performance, provide a certain value on improving the wearing comfort of seamless knitted fabric.
