Nylon introduction(polyamide)
Nylon is a polymer known for its durability and resistance. It is a revolution fibre invented in 1938. It is well-suited for socks that undergo lots of pulling and stretching. It is often used with other fibres to provide added stretch or durability. Nylon is a component in almost all modern socks, whether as a coating on natural fabrics or as a strengthening or stretching material. When nylon fibres are crimped and heat set, they become elastic and can then be used to provide the stretch feature of socks However, it absorbs a relatively large amount of water compared to other synthetics.
