Development of wool blended fabric with moisture absorption and cooling effect
In order to improve the coolness of wool worsted fabrics during summer use and expand their applications in short sleeved shirts,summer shorts,and work-wear,wool blended fabrics with good cooling effect and excellent wearing comfort were designed and developed in this paper by screening dyestuff with infrared reflection ability,and combining cool-touch fibers and moisture wicking finishing.Compared to conventional fabrics of the same quality,this fabric can cool down by 2-4℃under simulated sunlight irradiation conditions,and has excellent contact cooling sensation(Q-max value of 0.28 J/(cm2·s)and wicking effect(wicking height of over 12.5 cm).
