Wicking Performance of C-Shape Filament Yarn for Comfort Fabrics







Abstract
Clothing has a huge impact on comfort and physiology when participating in sports such as running, 
cycling and hiking and other outdoor activities. Three factors—psychological, tactile, and thermophysiological—can be used to categorize clothing comfort. Functional clothing, especially sports and 
activewear, needs to have fabric moisture management properties like sweat absorption, distribution, 
draining, evaporation and drying in order to work properly and be comfortable. The absorption, 
distribution, evaporation, and drying properties of synthetic textiles are significantly influenced by the 
rate of moisture dispersion, or wicking. Fibres in apparel can have an impact on the wearer's comfort. 
The primary goal of this research is to look at the effect of the C shape cross section filament yarn on the 
wicking ability of polyester fabric. In this study, the wicking ability of polyester filament yarn of circular 
cross sections compared with the C Shape cross sections filament yarn. The experimental results show
that the C Shape filaments perform better in wicking tests than circular cross section filaments. The better 
wicking of C Shape filaments can be attributed to two factors: first, the increased surface area for 
capillary action, and second, the micro and liner capillaries created inside the C Shape cross section of 
the filament.
