Abstract
The moisture-related properties of a series of cotton-polyester blend broadcloths and sheetings were investigated. The composition of the broadcloth ranged from all-cotton to 68% polyester and 32% cotton, and the sheeting varied from all-cotton to 50% polyester and 50% cotton. The moisture properties measured were drop absorbency, wicking time, moisture regain, vapor transport, liquid transport, and total absorbency. The fabrics were tested untreated and finished with various durable-press treatments. Chemical additives either decreased or increased a number of measured moisture properties, some of which might be related to comfort.Keywords
