Structural design of Janus fabric and its unidirectional moisture conductivity
To solve the problems of low production efficiency and poor stability of preparation methods for traditional unidi-rectional moisture conductive Janus fabric,Janus fabric was constructed using modal and polyester fibers with differences in wettability.The influences of structural parameters such as number of junction points and fabric weave on the basic and unidirectional moisture conductive properties of Janus fabrics were investigated.The re-sults showed that Janus fabrics could be made of modal and polyester fibers by weaving.Unidirectional moisture conductivity of fabric got worse with the increase of the number of junction points.Unidirectional moisture con-ductivity of plain fabric was better than those of 2/2 weft-backed plain and 2/2 twills fabric.When the number of junction points is 1 and both sides are plain weave,unidirectional transfer index of Janus fabric has reached 382.72,and unidirectional moisture conductivity is relatively optimal.
