The metal coatings in combination with sonochemical and leaching processes are used for nanostructuring and functionalization of glass, flax and hemp fabrics. The leaching is used for nanostructuring sodium alumosilicate K-glass fabrics to obtained silica like fibre with nanoporous structure on surface and in volume. The natural fibres as well as fabrics themselves are porous media. The porous media adsorbs water and content of moisture in fabrics have to be controlled. The metal-coated fabric characterization is an actual problem. Application of metal coatings for the functionalization of technical fibres and fabrics faced with influence of moisture on functional properties, e.g., the impedance of the metal coated K- glass and flax and hemp fabrics have strong dependence of content absorbed water or moisture. Presented studies are on the moisture content determination methodology based on thermogravimetric analyses and impedance spectroscopy. The leached K-glass fibres have three absorption sites with different kinetic and desorption heat. The flax has more complicated distribution of sorption/desorption sites. The water desorption heat1,3 kJ/g for both type of fabrics in temperature range 30–150 0C is comparable to the water evaporation heat 2,3 kJ/g at 100 0C. For leached K-glass fibre from the isothermal nitrogen sorption/desorption plot the pore volume is up to 7.5 cm3/g. and pore sizes are in range 2-100 nm.
