The development of the synthetic-fiber industry benefited the ROC's textile industry by causing prices of raw materials to go down, quality of products to go up; while causing the industry to begin being concerned with technology. For example, Cotton is water-absorbent, and in clothes can absorb perspiration, making the wearer more comfortable. But cotton clothes do not dry easily. Blending cotton with synthetic fibers makes an easy-to-dry fabric.
例如：棉紡品穿來柔軟、吸汗、舒適，但洗後不易乾，又易縐，加上人纖混紡，可使其快乾、免燙；毛紡品穿來溫暖、柔軟、舒適，但原料價格高，且洗後易縮小，加入人纖混紡，可避免上述缺點。
