WOVEN/KNIT FABRIC INCLUDING CRIMPED FIBER AND BECOMING RUGGED UPON HUMIDIFICATION, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND TEXTILE PRODUCT

摘要

A woven/knit fabric which becomes rugged upon humidification and loses the
ruggedness upon drying. The fabric comprises: crimped fibers (A) whose
percentage crimp decreases upon humidification; and fibers (B) comprising non-
crimped fibers and/or crimped fibers whose percentage crimp does not
substantially change upon humidification. The percentage change in ruggedness
of this woven/knit fabric as calculated from the thickness of the dry fabric
(TD) and the thickness of the humidified fabric (TW) using the following
equation: Percentage change in ruggedness (%) = ((TW-TD)/TD)~100 is 5% or
higher.
