AB - With the help of electronic microscope and scanning electronic microscope, profiled polyester
fibers with cross section shapes like “Y”, “+” and “C” were analyzed individually. Four kinds of single and
double-faced knitted fabrics with different structures and density were manufactured with the profiled
polyester fibers, and their wicking height, water retention and drying efficiency were investigated
individually. It was found that the more abnormal the fiber cross section is, the better is the moisture-transfer
and fast drying properties of its fabrics.
