[0061] The present application relates to a single textile performance structure comprising: a smooth but discontinuous front face optimized for surface moisture conduction and transport of moisture to a highly absorbent back face, the single textile performance structure being capable of being designed to hold a large variety of body fluids in a minimal surface area, wherein a device is capable of transporting moisture from the front face to the back face. In certain embodiments, the performance structure is a gusset performance structure.

[0062] The front side with moisture-conducting properties can be constructed from hydrophobic synthetic yarns with low denier and high filament count. Fibers in the range of 0.5-1.5 denier per filament are preferred. In certain embodiments, Ne16 (370 dtex) cotton yarn is used. Multi-lobed or multi-channel cross-sections can be used to maximize capillary forces and overall moisture-conducting capabilities.

[0063] The back side with absorbent properties can be constructed from hydrophilic staple fibers or continuous filament yarns. These hydrophilic yarns can have a higher denier than the yarns used in the front side. If continuous filament yarns are used, oval, leaf-shaped or striped cross-sections can be used to enhance capillary forces and overall moisture transfer capabilities. In certain embodiments, the back side can include floats and / or loops of predetermined length, direction, and pattern. The float / loop density is determined by the overall absorbent properties of the hydrophilic raw material and the liquid volume retention requirements of the desired product.

[0064] In certain embodiments, a flat double pique structure is provided. Such structures provide beneficial properties to textiles.

[0065] One process of constructing the front and back sides may include transferring yarns from the front side to the back side and vice versa, thereby forming a defined inverted pattern of a specific repeat, shape and size. In selective coloring, the front side will be a dark color, while the back side yarns will be undyed and clearly visible in the technical side. The resulting pattern can be used as a visual guide to the presence of fluid within the textile structure.

[0066] Lining performance structures can be included in the fabric. The resulting fabric can be finished to provide specific antimicrobial, anti-odor, anti-static, moisture management, anti-stain, fragrance and general easy care properties for the product end use, and is selected to have minimal impact on the inherent physical properties of the selected raw materials. The textile can be knitted or woven, fully consistent with the performance and durability requirements of the final product.

[0067] The performance structure or materials comprising the performance structure may also be used in conjunction with additional textile layers in end-product applications requiring absorption, movement and retention of fluids, such other layers being films, laminates, coatings or other barrier technologies, if desired.

[0068] End products in which performance structures or materials comprising performance structures may also be used in combination with additional textile layers include, for example, sportswear, activewear, casual wear, swimwear, shapewear, uniforms and hospitality wear, patient and medical wear, formal and dress clothing, pants, bottoms, leggings, pantyhose, shorts, boxers, swim trunks, briefs, bras, and underarm pads.

[0069] The absorbency of the gusset performance structure can be maximized by selecting an absorbent material that can hold the greatest amount of moisture in the smallest surface area.

[0070] The performance structure and its component materials may be selected to provide an absorbent balance through physical means (such as capillary forces between fibers and yarns) and through hydrogen bonding within the material structure itself to minimize any potential for moisture transfer to the wearer during use.

[0071] The high moisture conducting material of the front side may comprise low dpf continuous filaments with a multi-lobed cross section that promotes moisture conduction after initial surface wetting. The face fabric may also be any of the hydrophilic materials listed above that have been treated with a chemical agent or process to render them hydrophobic. The front side may comprise a repeating surface pattern of contrasting color and absorbency that is visible to the naked eye. The front side may also be dyed to a preferred color such as, but not limited to, black, taupe, optical white, etc. A series of regular gathering and floating stitches may be used to reverse the face fabric and lining.

[0072] Optimize the comfort and feel of performance structures by minimizing thermal capacity, reducing layers within the structure, minimizing the height of any surface texture, using low heat retaining materials to create single-layer textiles, improving breathability, and using membranes or carrier textiles with enhanced air / moisture permeability.

[0073] In other exemplary embodiments, odor control can be optimized in the performance structure, different chemistries can be incorporated into the performance structure depending on the intended end use, chemical finishes can be designed for a specific range of VOCs, chemical finishes can be minimized to improve safety and comfort, and the performance structure can be optimized for all body fluids.

[0074] Moisture management can be optimized by using synthetic / cellulose blends for performance structures. Preferably, synthetic / cellulose blends can contain cellulose (natural and recycled) and recycled synthetic components. Raw material differences are required to form the desired Moisture management effect; preferably, the performance structure has a high difference in yarn linear density, with low yarn density in the face side The yarn density in the back side is low. In a preferred embodiment, the front and back sides may comprise combed ring spun yarns. In an alternative embodiment, the back side comprises continuous filaments.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, the front side comprises about 1 dpf of recycled polyester fibers. The front side can be flat or have a cross-section with channels. The front side can have a cationic dyeable polyester (CDP) or a hydrophilic finish. The yarns on the front side can be doped or jet-dyed to a desired color. The number of yarns on the back side depends on the type of fiber blend, but preferably, a coarser texture is preferred to optimize moisture management capabilities.

[0076] In certain embodiments, the fiber for the front side may be 150 dtex, 144 filament (1.04 dpf), while the fiber for the back side may be 370 dtex, Ne16 filament.

[0077] In certain embodiments, the yarn may be doped or dyed to any color, such as, for example, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, brown, black, or any other color or combination thereof.

[0078] The yarn for the front side can be white, optical white or undyed. The front side can be double-sided, or any other structure of any technical structure that can preferentially select and place yarn. In certain embodiments, the present invention can be constructed using the following: plain weave structure, square basket weave structure, twill weave structure, satin weave structure, multi-arm weave structure, single bead or double bead weave structure, jacquard weave structure, crepe weave structure, double-layer weave structure, pile or terry weave structure, single or double plain knitted structure, double rib knitted structure, jacquard knitted structure, warp knitted structure, Raschel knitted structure, lace knitted structure, intarsia knitted structure, single or double knitted structure, terry knitted structure, velvet knitted structure, pile knitted structure or any combination of the above structures.
