Moisture in textiles. (English) Zbl 1491.76084

Moin, Parviz (ed.) et al., Annual review of fluid mechanics. Vol. 54. Palo Alto, CA: Annual Reviews. Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech. 54, 443-467 (2022).
Summary: The interactions of textiles with moisture have been thoroughly studied in textile research, while fluid mechanists and soft matter physicists have partially investigated the underlying physics phenomena. A description of liquid morphologies in fibrous assemblies allows one to characterize the associated capillary forces and their impact on textiles, and to organize their complex moisture transport dynamics. This review gathers some of the common features and fundamental mechanisms at play in textile-liquid interactions, with selected examples ranging from knitted fabrics to nonwoven paper sheets, associated with experiments on model systems.
