PDF On the Drying Characteristics of Wool Fabrics as Sport-wear

【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.7 Vol.7

 Relationship between drying characteristics and heap or blend ratio of wool/cotton as well as degree of modification of wool was examined at a given temperature of 40°C, near bodies temperature, for plain weave fabrics. The drying rate was measured by using an apparatus designed in our laboratory.
 The drying characteristics of wool fabrics significantly differs from that of cotton fabrics, which affects the drying characteristics of wool/cotton combinations. The scale on wool fiber was also affects remarkably on the drying characteristics.
 From the results of this studies, a guide will be given for wearing more comfortably the sport-wear made by wool.
