Question

Why do
cotton clothes take
a longer time to dry than nylon clothes​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since it can't form hydrogen bonds to nylon, we say nylon is more hydrophobic. The same is true for most synthetic polymer fibers, and as a result, cotton absorbs water much more readily than other fibers, and tends to "hang on" to the molecules for longer - which means cotton fibers take longer to dry.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that woolen cloths are thick and it hold the air inside. This we wear it in winter. In the same way as this holds in air it also holds water so it is difficult to evaporate the cloth fast. Thus woolen clothes take more time to evaporate than synthetic fibers.
