Polyester Blend Fabrics

Cotton fabrics are in use for hundreds of years because of the texture quality and breathability. Still, there are many disadvantages of using pure cotton fabric. To overcome all these problems, today cotton is blended with polyester. The polyester fabric has attained its popularity because of its smooth finish and tendency to get easily blend with other fabrics. So when cotton is blended with certain percentage of polyester, you get the best of both the fabrics and the end products is durable.
Though cotton is getting manufactured in all around the world for hundreds of years, polyester came into existence in the early days of 1050. DuPont was the place where Wallace Carothers and his team of research scientists were the people behind the discovery of polyester in 1930. DuPont were researching on the creation of artificial materials and doing extensive research for that. So, when Carothers team found about the strong polymer which can be converted in to a fabric, they did some test and the end result was nylon. Because of this discovery, research of polyester was set aside and no development process was took place. But, later on a group of British scientists took the notes of Carothers and developed it and later on filed patent on their name.
