Capillary effect and moisture absorption and liberation property of yarns blended with some environment friendly fibers

The capillary effect,moisture absorption and liberation property of yarns blended with new environment friendly fibers such as Rousi fibers,pupa protein fiber,Tencel fiber,color cotton,etc.were studied in this paper.Their liquid wicking height and moisture absorption and libertation process were tested.The tested data were contrasted by using Origin software in order to find the more universal laws which have relation with the moisture absorption and liquid transfer property of yarns,and the tested results could provide reference for developing environment friendly fabrics with good wet comfort.The results show that the yarns blended with pupa protein fibers which are of skin-core structure have good capillary effect.The yarn blended 50% Rousi fibers has the better moisture absorption and liberation property.With the decreasing of Rousi fiber content,the rate of absorption and liberation decreased.Tencel/bast fibers yarns are not better than the yarns having Rousi fibers and pupa protein fibers on capillary effect and moisture absorption and liberation property.Cotton/color cotton yarns have the lowest absorption and liberation rate.
