Solid PET polymer is relatively hard and brittle. It must be formed into very fine fibers in order to exhibit a bending stiffness that is low enough for textile materials. Most commercial PET fibers are produced in a diameter range of about 10-50 pm, considerably smaller than a human hair. Within this range lie large differences in the softness, drape and feel of fabrics formed from the fibers, since the bending stiffness of a cylindrical fiber depends on the 4th power of its diameter.
