Cotton knitted fabrics are popular for summer-wear and outer-wear due to their comfort. The typical porous structure of knitted fabrics, however, increases the risk of exposure of human skin to UV rays, resulting in skin cancer. Therefore a trade-off is required between the comfort and UV ray resistance of the fabric. In this study, an attempt was made to engineer single jersey and 1×1 rib knitted fabrics with optimum comfort and desired UV resistance. It was found that 1×1 rib knitted fabrics could provide better comfort and UV protection with respect to single jersey fabrics manufactured on the same gauge knitting machine.

Dzianiny bawełniane są bardzo popularne dla ubrań noszonych latem ze względu na możliwość uzyskania wysokiego komfortu noszenia. Typowa porowata struktura dzianin powoduje jednak wzrost ryzyka wystawienia skóry na promieniowanie UV mogące prowadzić do raka skóry. Dlatego należy uzyskać kompromis pomiędzy komfortem noszenia a odpornością na promieniowanie UV. W pracy przeprowadzono próbę opracowania dzianiny lewo-prawej i dwu-prawej 1x1 o optymalnych właściwościach komfortu i jednocześnie wymaganej odporności na promieniowanie UV. Stwierdzono, że dzianina dwu-prawa 1x1 może zapewnić lepszy komfort i ochronę przed UV w porównaniu do dzianiny lewo-prawej produkowanej przy tych samych parametrach maszyny dziewiarskiej.
