Functional fabric is a type of fabric that has special properties or functions that are not found in ordinary fabrics. Functional fabric can be divided into two categories: natural functional fabric and synthetic functional fabric.
Natural functional fabric is made from natural fibers that have inherent functions, such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp, etc. These fabrics have advantages such as breathability, moisture absorption, warmth retention, antibacterial, etc. For example, wool fabric can keep warm and regulate body temperature, silk fabric can resist ultraviolet rays and prevent skin aging, hemp fabric can inhibit bacteria and fungi growth, etc.
Synthetic functional fabric is made from chemical fibers or modified natural fibers that have been processed or treated to achieve certain functions, such as polyester, nylon, spandex, etc. These fabrics have advantages such as durability, elasticity, water repellency, flame retardancy, etc. For example, polyester fabric can resist wrinkles and stains, nylon fabric can resist abrasion and tear, spandex fabric can stretch and recover, etc.
