Fashion applications for polyester fiber,particularly hydrophilic polyester

摘要

Despite the fact that polyester fibre is extremely hydrophobic,it has a bright future,particularly in the fashion industry,as consumers increasingly are attracted by its easy care properties.While research continues to develop an ideal hydrophilic polyester solution,this article examines ways to increase the hydrophilicity of polyester via processing routes (such as denier reduction and micro fibres) and chemical routes (topical finishes).
