FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS WITH MOISTURE FLOW MANAGEMENT PROPERTIES FOR SPORTS AND SPECIAL PURPOSE CLOTHING

The results of the analysis of functional materials with the property of controlling moisture flows in a clothing package are presented. It has been shown that in modern developments the transfer vector is formed due to the surface energy gradient or capillary potential. It has been established that all developments can be classified according to the type of transfer mechanism. Moisture transfer due to Marangoni flows in textile materials is ensured by: a combination of natural and synthetic raw materials; applying water-repellent and hydrophilic coatings to the surface of the material; use of membranes. The organization of a capillary potential gradient in textile materials is associated with a change in surface density along the thickness. A number of images use a combination of these approaches. For each of the selected classes, trademarks of materials that are available on the modern textile market are presented.
