This property, along with electric resistivity is a characteristic of anti-static properties. In order to control the antistatic properties of polymers, various methods of measuring the surface charge density are used. They use various ways to decrease static electricity, but the use of more advanced technologies increases production costs. There are different technologies that aim at producing fabrics with antistatic qualities. If you ever took off your synthetic sweater in a dark room, you would have noticed the sparks and heard the characteristic crackling sound of the electric charge.ĭoctors are wary of this property of synthetic materials and recommend using more natural fabrics with as little synthetic additions as possible, at least for the undergarments. They are quick to gain static electricity, which we can literally feel on our skin. Unfortunately, not everything is perfect with these synthetic materials. Synthetic fabrics have many other benefits, including durability, resistance to liquid, and anti-wrinkling properties among others. Indeed, thanks to these materials we were able to fully answer all of our needs for clothing, from lacy tights to light and warm sweaters and comfortable stylish jackets with synthetic insulation usually made of thin polyester fibers. Ever since viscose and nylon were invented, our chemical industry is generous in supplying us with various synthetic fabrics that we cannot imagine living without. We live in an era of synthesized materials. A static discharge between a finger and a metal door
