摘要
This paper presents an investigation of the compression properties and air permeability of weft-knitted spacer fabrics. Twenty spacer fabrics were knitted on a computerized flat knitting machine with different weft knit patterns, spacer yarns, and loop lengths (stitch cam settings). Their compression property and air permeability were tested with the Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES-F). The influences of different factors were discussed and compared. The results obtained provide some useful information for new spacer fabric development.
