Where to find info about swimsuit fabrics?

I need to know the different characteristics of fabrics with different composition of polyamide and elastaneLike what difference will there be in terms of the look, the stretchability, etc between a fabric with 80% polyamide and another fabric with just 20% polyamide.

Answer:

YeahOnce out of curiosity when I was littleI wouldn't recommend it.
why would you, i can be harmful to your body
Fiber composition is not going to tell you much about the appearance or stretch characteristics of a particular fabricYou can assume that fabrics with more elastane/lycra/spandex will have better stretch and recovery than those with smaller amounts, but there are so many ways to make nylon (polyamide) yarns and weave or knit them that you really can't make sweeping statements about itConsider the difference in appearance between one of the slick fabrics like a satin nylon/spandex, and one with air textured yarns, like a supplex/spandex.
