COMPOSITION OF CARBOHYDRATES IN FRESH WHEY — Proceeding R-1

Abstract

This paper examines the most important compressible properties of socks made from different fibers in a plain jersey. These properties indirectly affect the parameters of thermo-physiological comfort of socks during wear. Three yarns were used in the sock composition; the first, a dominant yarn made from six different fibers, makes up 77%. The other two yarns are made from nylon and wrapped elastic threads, accounting for 23%. The most compressible sock is made from cotton yarn, with the modal yarn sock model being very close in performance. The highest linearity of compression, compression energy, and compression resistance are found in socks made from bamboo and modal yarns, with viscose yarn socks not falling far behind. Bamboo yarn socks exhibit weaker elastic recovery compared to socks made from cotton-compact yarn, which have better elastic characteristics. Out of the six combinations of raw material compositions for socks and the examination of several compression properties, sock models in plain jersey can be selected for specific purposes, such as medical, home, or outdoor use.

Keywords: thermo-physiology, thermography, men’s socks, bamboo fibers, plain knit fabrics
