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.

Which fabric dries the fastest cotton or nylon?

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.


What fiber dries the fastest?

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.

What happens when you wet a cotton ball and put it in the sun?

The water in the cotton ball will evaporate due to the sun's heat, causing it to dry out. The heat from the sun speeds up the evaporation process, resulting in the cotton ball becoming dry more quickly than if it were left in a cooler environment.


Why is cotton a better fabric for sports clothes than nylon?

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.
