With the continuous improvement of the quality of life, people are more willing to choose cotton fabric as the material of personal clothing. The advantage of cotton is that it is comfortable and does not hurt the skin, and its greater feature is its strong sweat absorption. In fact, it depends on whether the molecular formula of the material contains hydrophilic groups such as -OH. Obviously, the more hydrophilic groups in the formula, the stronger the water absorption of the material, and the easier it is to absorb water and sweat. So cotton absorbs sweat the most, followed by flax and silk.
At present, different clothes have different requirements for the selection of materials. Cotton is warm and comfortable, but it is not necessarily the best choice in some aspects. For example, in the choice of sportswear, cotton material will not be chosen as the production material of sportswear, because the amount of perspiration during exercise is relatively large and cotton material has strong water absorption. The discharged sweat is absorbed on clothes, which is difficult to distribute, which is not conducive to exercise, and even it is easy to catch cold when it is blown by the wind. Therefore, in the first choice of materials for sportswear, we should choose fabrics with strong dispersibility, such as polypropylene fiber, which will help to sweat and keep the skin dry without affecting the sense of sports experience.
There are other requirements on the choice of pajamas, dresses and summer shirts. People are more interested in the comfort and coolness of these clothes. At this time, silk and cotton materials will be much better than cotton fabrics. Silk generally refers to silk, but it is also a relatively expensive fabric. However, a penny for a penny, its comfort is incomparable to other fabrics. Its texture is soft and light. Therefore, cotton is not suitable for all clothes because of its good water absorption, and it also varies from clothes to clothes.
