Nylon and polyester which is easy to electrostatic?
Under normal circumstances, polyester is more easy to electrostatic, of course, whether it is nylon or polyester, if the raw materials used are anti-static treatment, you can not do static.
High moisture regain indicates that the fiber absorbs more moisture under normal conditions. Absorb high moisture, static electricity is small. Polyester does not absorb moisture, so polyester must be more static than nylon!
The chemical structure of polyester fiber is polyethylene terephthalate. There are no hydrophilic groups such as -OH, -NH, -COOH, etc. on the molecular chain. Therefore, the moisture regain of the fiber is basically 0.The chemical structure of nylon is polyamide, the [NHCO] amino groups in the unit, hydrophilic, certain result, nylon moisture regain is 4.5%, although can not be compared with cotton, silk, wool these natural fiber, but the synthetic fiber is very high.
First of all, to understand, static electricity is everywhere, any object friction will produce static electricity. But we can feel the static, is due to the accumulation of static electricity, not on the object from the results. If the object contains water, water molecules can conduct static, static to escape into space, you will feel the presence of static electricity.For polyester and nylon, which is easy to electrostatic, you can see clearly from the chemical structure.
