Cotton takes a longer time to dry than nylon due to its water retention capacity. Nylon does not hold water very well and can also have the effect of repelling water.
the cotton thread have capillaries (hollow inside) so it absorbed water, which takes long time to evaporate while nylon thread is solid (inside) having no absorption power, the water is stick on its surfaces only so it requires less time to evaporate.
Synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon typically dry the fastest compared to natural fibers like cotton or wool. This is because synthetic fibers are more moisture-wicking and have lower water absorbency, allowing them to dry quickly.
dry air rises up faster because the dry air has less density n therefore it rises up faster than moist air
Bamboo is considered more breathable than cotton because it has natural moisture-wicking properties that help keep you cool and dry.
Because on got day there is less moisture in air so, the clothes dry faster on a hot day than a cool day.
Nylon dries faster than cotton because it is a synthetic fabric that repels moisture and has low absorbency. Cotton, on the other hand, absorbs moisture easily and retains it longer, making it slower to dry.
cotton drys faster
It is believed that wool does dry faster than cotton. Many think that wool does not absorb moisture like cotton does.
They absorb large amounts of water and dry quickly
Because it absorbs water, that helps it dry, unlike silk, and it doesn't have capillaries ,unlike cotton. I'm a super genius! No I'm not but I'm doing my science fair project on it. Ice cream will soon be know as the thing that saved man kind! XD

No- from my experience with drip-dry cottondrying on a line. In fact, pants may dry a little slower- the waist area takes longer, it seems. Rayon and polyester dry faster than cotton regardless whether they are shirts or pants.
Cotton is a better fabric than nylon for sports and exercise because, being a natural fibre, it breathes, meaning your skin can also breathe and sweat can evaporate like it is supposed to. This is similarly the case for wool. On the other hand, nylon is a synthetic polymer and hence does not absorb moisture well thereby can leave you feeling hot and clammy at the best of times, let alone during exercise and rigorous activity.
I used to use narrow threads of nylon. After washing, I would measure the force it takes to bend the nylon. After 24 hours, there was no change in force, and so I thought it was totally dry. At least as dry as it was going to get. Of course, if you use a hair dryer, it could dry much faster.
Synthetic materials like polyester and nylon generally dry the fastest because they are less absorbent than natural fibers like cotton or wool. These materials wick moisture away from the body quickly, allowing them to air dry faster. Additionally, fabrics with moisture-wicking technology are designed to accelerate the evaporation process, making them a good choice for activewear or outdoor clothing.
To wash a nylon and cotton blend, use a mild detergent and cold water to prevent shrinking and damage to the fibers. Wash the garment on a gentle or delicate cycle and avoid using bleach or fabric softener. For drying, air dry the clothing flat or hang it up to prevent stretching.
