Skin wetness and body water loss are important indexes to reflect the heat strain of the human body. According to ISO 7933 2004, the skin wetness and sweat rate are calculated by the evaporative heat flow and the maximum evaporative heat flow in the skin surface, etc. This work proposes the soft textile-based sensor, which was knitted by stainless steel/polyester blended yarn on the flat knitting machine. It investigated the relationship between electrical resistance in the weft/warp directions and different water absorption ratio (0–70%), different sample size (2 cm × 2 cm, 2 cm × 4 cm, 2 cm × 6 cm and 2 cm × 8 cm). The hydrophilic treatment effectively improved the water absorption ratio increasing from 40% to 70%. The weft and warp direction exhibited different electrical behaviors when under dry and wet conditions. It suggested the weft direction of knitted fabrics was recommended for detecting the electrical resistance due to its stable sensitivity and linearity performance. It could be used as a flexible sensor integrated into a garment for measuring the skin wetness and sweat rate in the future instead of traditional measurements.

In order to fabricate fabrics with electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and other function, we fabricated Crisscross-section polyester /antibacterial nylon / stainless steel wires (CSP/AN/SSW) composite yarns with stainless wires as core yarn, antibacterial nylon and crisscross-section polyester as inner and out wrapped yarns, respectively. Knitted fabrics were fabricated with the metal composite yarns with wrap amount of 8 turns/cm on a circular knitted machine. Furthermore, the EMSE of the metal composite fabrics were evaluated by changing the lamination amounts and lamination angles. The results show that when the lamination amount was four, lamination angles were 0°/45°/90°/-45°, the EMSE of the fabrics reached to-10--20 dB in the frequency range of 300 KHz to 3 GHz.

In this study, nonwoven selvedges served as core yarn which was wrapped with stainless steel wires. Core yarn was added with functional materials such as stainless steel wires or copper wires or both. Functional polypropylene nonwoven selvedges (PNS) complex ply yarns were made using a rotor twister machine. The wrapped density of stainless steel wires was changed as 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 turns/cm and the speed of rotor twister was set at 8000 rpm. Shown in the mechanical property test of complex ply yarn, when speed of rotor twister was at 8000 rpm; wrapped density was 2.5 turns/ cm; and functional materials were copper wires and stainless steel wires, complex ply yarns made of polypropylene nonwoven selvedges (PNS) had the maximum breaking force as 47.76N and maximum breaking elongation as 47.93%.

The scientific progress has improved human life quality, meanwhile today's high-stress lifestyle has resulted in a rising demand for health care and well-being products. The high technology products and innovation make our life more convenient and at the same time the negative effects, such as electrostatic and electromagnetic wave. High electromagnetic wave affects the human body in different ways. Technological innovation and product aesthetics are both important for modern life quality. Companies have invested in research, development and essential household items to improve the lives such as thermal retentivity and antistatic. In this study, PET fiber was used as warp, and PET fiber, bamboo charcoal nylon fiber and stainless steel fiber employed as weft to weave three groups of resilient warp knitted fabrics. Then various examination have been conducted, including electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, tensile strength test, tearing strength test, burst strength test. The results indicate that the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of bamboo charcoal / stainless steel resilient warp knitted fabrics attained 35 dB and the shielding achieved 99.9 %. The tensile strength of bamboo charcoal / stainless steel resilient warp knitted fabrics (weft) reached 26 MPa.
