TY - JOUR AU - Wang, Jinxiu AB - Abstract In this paper, the capillary rise method was applied to evaluate the wicking property of polyester filament yarns. Effects of twist, monofil cross sectional shape and texturing on the wicking height were discussed in details. The results indicated that with the increase of twist level, the wicking height ascends until reaching the maximum height, and then descends. It is also observed that under the same twist level, the wicking height of the five-leaf low-stretch yarn is the largest among all those three kinds of yarns, and then is that of the conventional low-stretch yarn. The wicking height of the parallel-drawn yarn is the smallest.
