The Development and Evaluation of Plant Structured Fabric

Recently, the biomimetics of a tree-shaped branching structure in fabrics has been proposed as a potential approach for enhancing the liquid water transport and moisture management properties of fabrics. This study explores this novel concept through creative design of knitting structures in order to improve the liquid water transport in fabric. According to this research, tree-shaped branching network in plants can be emulated in knitted fabric and help to improve the moisture management properties.
