Water uptake in textiles is measured at yarn scale using 4-D X-ray imaging and neutron radiography showing an anomalous behavior not following a square root time behavior. Water uptake in yarns characterized by a sparse pore network of elongated pores with poor connectivity shows sudden water filling events separated by long waiting times. A multiscale pore network approach is developed allowing to simulate the uptake process and a good agreement with experiments is found. This multiscale approach allows to correctly understand water uptake behavior of complex porous materials at macroscale.

摘要

Water uptake in textiles is measured at yarn scale using 4-D X-ray imaging and neutron radiography showing an anomalous behavior not following a square root time behavior. Water uptake in yarns characterized by a sparse pore network of elongated pores with poor connectivity shows sudden water filling events separated by long waiting times. A multiscale pore network approach is developed allowing to simulate the uptake process and a good agreement with experiments is found. This multiscale approach allows to correctly understand water uptake behavior of complex porous materials at macroscale.
