PURPOSE: To obtain the subject fabric, having moisture absorbing and releasing characteristics and rich in wearing comfortableness by applying an aqueous solution containing a specific mixed monomer and a polymerization initiator to a synthetic fiber fabric, then wet heat-treating the fabric and keeping the heat-treated fabric in a dry state.
CONSTITUTION: An aqueous solution comprising a mixed monomer containing a vinyl compound (preferred example; N-methylolacrylamide) having an N- alkyolamide group and a vinylsulfonic acid (preferred example; acrylamide-2- methylpropanesulfonic acid) at (1:5) to (4:1) weight ratio and preferably ammonium persulfate as a polymerization initiator is applied to a synthetic fiber fabric, which is then heat-treated with steam to accelerate copolymerizing reaction. The obtained fiber fabric is kept in a dry state (or naturally dried and then heat-treated or aged at 15-60° for 10-24hr and subsequently kept in the dry state) to afford the objective synthetic fiber fabric rich in wearing comfortableness. The fabric is extremely comfortable in sportswear, underwear, etc.
