Principle of Moisture Absorbing and Sweat wicking Fabric

Moisture absorbing and sweat wicking fabric fiber has the characteristics of water absorption, which is that there are many internal and external communication pores or fibril gaps and surface grooves on the fiber surface, making it easy for water to enter between fibers. At the same time, there are many tubular grooves or capillaries along the fiber axis to provide channels for the migration of water, so the fiber has good water absorption. After absorbing water, there is no swelling like that of cotton.
Moisture absorbing and sweat wicking fabric finishing, as the name suggests, is to make the fabric have both water absorption and quick drying.
Water absorption of fiber
Moisture absorbing and sweat wicking fabric fiber has the characteristics of water absorption, which is that there are many internal and external communication pores or fibril gaps and surface grooves on the fiber surface, making it easy for water to enter between fibers. At the same time, there are many tubular grooves or capillaries along the fiber axis to provide channels for the migration of water, so the fiber has good water absorption. After absorbing water, there is no swelling like that of cotton.
The moisture absorption and perspiration performance of fast drying fiber depends on its chemical composition and physical structure. The gaseous water evaporated from the skin surface is first absorbed by the fiber material, which is called the moisture absorption process. After that, the moisture is released on the surface of the fiber material, and the liquid water on the skin surface is absorbed, diffused and evaporated on the surface of the fiber material due to the capillary effect generated by the capillaries, micropores, grooves, and spaces between fibers. This process is called moisture release. As a result of the two processes, water migration occurs. The former is mainly related to the chemical composition of fiber macromolecules, while the latter is related to the physical structure and morphology of fibers.
The moisture between polyester fibers is mainly held by fibers by a large number of microporous capillary forces, or mechanically kept in the capillary tubes between fibers. Under normal ambient temperature, the moisture is easily transported to the fiber surface and volatilized.
Moisture absorbing and sweat wicking fabric fibers generally have a high specific surface area, with many micropores or grooves on the surface, and their cross sections are generally special shaped. With capillary effect, the fibers can quickly absorb moisture and sweat on the skin surface, and evaporate through diffusion and transmission to the outer layer.
