Review on the Development and Application of Directional Water Transport Textile Materials

Moisture (sweat) management in textile products is crucial to regulate human thermo-physiological comfort. Traditional hydrophilic textiles, such as cotton, can absorb sweat, but they retain it, leading undesired wet adhesion sensation and even excessive cooling. To address issues, the development of functional textiles with directional water transport (DWT) has garnered great deal interest. DWT materials realize prevent penetration reverse direction, which a application for sweat release daily life. In this review article, mechanism analyzed. Then, three key methods achieve performance are reviewed, including design fabric structure, surface modification electrospinning. addition, applications clothing, electronic wound dressing introduced. Finally, challenges future trends field discussed.
