Abstract: The hygienic and comfort properties of fabrics for clothing are basically determined by their electrifiability and ability to absorb moisture, i.e. the hygroscopicity and capillarity, which are quantitative characteristics of the hydrophilicity of materials. Unfortunately, the most common synthetic fibre, Polyester exhibits high electrifiability and low hydrophilicity, which makes it unsuitable for fabrication of fabrics with properties close to cellulosic fibre and significantly restricts the area of their application. However, now a days, it is more preferable in the active sportswear due to its excellent physical properties like abrasion resistance, strength etc.
