why do synthetic fibres generate static electricity?

-Static charge results when electrons are transferred from one object to another by friction.
-Some substances are, because of their atomic or molecular structure, able to release electrons easily while other substances are able to hold extra electrons easily.
-The resulting charge can cause a fabric to cling to something with the opposite charge, or to let all the extra electrons jump to a more hospitable substance.
-This may happen more easily with rayon than cotton, but it is not true for all combinations of natural and synthetic fabric.
