Why cotton clothes are preferred over nylon clothes?
The biggest advantage of cotton over nylon, especially in warmer climates, is that cotton fabric is much cooler to wear than nylon. Cotton can absorb the sweat where as nylon will have you feeling hot and sticky.
Which fabrics retain heat best nylon silk wool cotton?
Silk is well known for being warmer than wool. Nylon and cotton are poorer insulators. (As well, there are other types of "wool" which are known for being much warmer than sheep's wool...)
How much weight can cotton hold specifically?
Cotton fibers are not typically used for carrying heavy loads as they are not as strong as other materials like nylon or polyester. Cotton fibers have a tensile strength of about 215-430 MPa, which means they are not suitable for bearing heavy weights.
Why are silk clothes preferred over cotton clothes in winter?
I personally would have thought that cotton clothes would be preferred, as they lock in the heat and keep the person warm, silk clothes look and feel nice, but do not provide as much warmth as cotton clothing would.
Does hot water shrink clothes?
Hot water can cause clothes to shrink because it can break down the fibers in the fabric and cause them to contract. It is generally recommended to wash clothes in cold water to prevent shrinking, especially for delicate or synthetic fabrics.
Why cotton clothes are preferred over nylon clothes?

Why nylon is the best material for a bath towel?
Nylon is not typically used for bath towels as it is not as absorbent or soft as materials like cotton. Cotton is the preferred material for bath towels due to its softness, absorbency, and durability.
Why do you prefer using cotton clothes to clothes made of synthetic materials in summer Explain?
Cotton is much more comfy and cotton is cooler in the summer than most of all the other materials.
How much weight can 2mm rope take?
Cotton, hemp, nylon & polyester all have different tensile strengths.
Can you buy knickers that do not make you perspire so much?
Cotton knickers don't make you perspire as much as man-made knickers, such as nylon.
Why should wear ployster clothes in rainy season and not cotton clothes?
Polyester dries quicker than cotton, as the polyester fibres don't absorb as much water.
What is better for fiberglassing nylon or cotton?
Assuming the nylon or cotton is being use as a filler, cotton is definitely better. Nylon consists of long molecules that don't adhere well with the resin. It is also expensive. Cotton, on the other hand is cheap and has a "rougher" molecule. The resulting flox can be used to reinforce structural areas such as flanges, fastener mounts such as screws and rivets. Nonstructural filler can be made with certain polymers or glass micro balloons. This type of filler is much lighter than cotton flox.
What materials in clothes burns the fastest?
Previous answers to this question have stated that cotton burns the fastest, while synthetic fabrics burn slowest, such as Nylon. I believe this is inaccurate. My experience as a chemist tells me that synthetic clothing such as Nylon and polyester burn much more quickly than cotton.
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.
Which fabrics retain heat best nylon silk wool cotton?
Silk is well known for being warmer than wool. Nylon and cotton are poorer insulators. (As well, there are other types of "wool" which are known for being much warmer than sheep's wool...)
Why is it not advised to wear nylon clothes while cooking?
If something splashes, it will melt the nylon into your skin rather than just burning a hole... so it is much harder to remove the clothing and treat the burn.
