Like nylon and rayon (artificial silk), polyester is a manmade fiber with broad applications. It is especially noteworthy in that it dries quickly, is very flexible, and holds shape well. Given that its texture is similar to wool, it is highly suited to being blended with materials like wool, cotton, and rayon, creating even more possible uses.
聚酯纖維與尼龍、縲縈（即人造絲）同屬應用廣泛的人造纖維，它具有易乾、彈性佳及不易變形等特性，加上質感與羊毛相近，很容易與羊毛、棉及縲縈等其他材質混紡，在布料的應用極為廣泛。
