Air and Water Vapour Permeability in Double - Layered Knitted Fabrics with Different Raw Materials

A typical double layered construction of knitted fabrics (Figure 1) includes the following elements: n a knitted fabric layer made of conductive and diffusive yarns which directly adjoins the body. Its role is to remove and transport humidity from the body in liquid and vapour forms. n a knitted fabric layer made of sorptive yarn which is not in direct contact with the skin. The role of this layer is to keep the humidity far from the body and vaporisae it to the environment.
