The liquid absorption and transport properties of fabrics are critical not only to the success of
wet processes such as dyeing, printing and finishing, but also to the performance of products …

This review covers imaging techniques of wicking in textiles ranging from visible light to
synchrotron x-ray. First, the wicking phenomenon and its relevance are exposed. Then, the …

Wetness sensation is a crucial factor affecting wear comfort. In this study, a measurement
method that is capable of characterizing the subjective wetness sensation of various textile …

Wicking describes the liquid transport behavior of fibrous assemblies and plays an important
role in deciding the comfort characteristics of fabrics. The present manuscript describes the …

A new method was proposed for the measurement of in-plane capillary water flow within
fabrics automatically. The method was based on the use of thermocouples to measure …

Liquid migration in woven fabrics was investigated by measuring the wicking coefficients of
hydrophilic cotton and hydrophobic PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) monofilament fabrics and …

In this study, natural staple yarns of cotton and wool were investigated for wicking properties.
Fibre packing density reflected by yarn wicking rates was measured in ply cotton yarns. It …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between wicking coefficients of
fabrics and yarns. A range of plain fabrics were woven by varying the weave density, yarn …

Functional finishing and surface functionalization play an ever‐increasing role in the design
of functional textiles for, eg, technical and industrial applications. Surface treatments impart …

The comprehension of capillarity phenomenon is important in chemical, printing, and textile
dyeing. The current paper provides an insight into the diffusion of direct dyes into cellulosic …
