Abstract
This research study investigates the moisture management properties of woven fabrics produced from banana and bamboo fibers. The moisture management characteristics of three different fabric structures, namely plain, twill, and satin weaves, were examined using varying proportions of bamboo and banana fibers. Results revealed that an increase in the proportion of bamboo fibers led to enhanced maximum wetted radius, spreading speed, AOTI, and OMMC. Furthermore, fabric structure played a significant role in moisture management performance, with satin weave fabric demonstrating excellent moisture management behavior and twill weave fabric exhibiting the least favorable moisture management properties.
