Though cotton is getting Trading all around the world for hundreds of years, polyester came into existence in the early days of 1050. DuPont was the place where Wallace Carothers and his team of research scientists were the people behind the discovery of polyester in 1930. DuPont was researching the creation of artificial materials and doing extensive research for that. So, when Carothers team found about the strong polymer which can be converted into the fabric, they did some test and the end result was nylon. Because of this discovery, research of polyester was set aside and no development process was taking place. But, later on, a group of British scientists took the notes of Carothers and developed it and later on filed a patent on their name. With the invention of polyester, many problems related to cotton fabrics were resolved in no time. Cotton fabric has good absorbing quality but this has a side effect. Due to this, the fabric wrinkles easily. Also, cotton losses color and shape if washed roughly. But, when the cotton is mixed with polyester, the fabric is able to retain its color and shape even after going through various wash treatments. Polyester is now attaining its popularity in the garment and home accessories industry. Because of its durability, many companies are ordering polyester to create garments and home furnishings. The fabric has breathability and is easy to maintain.
