Question

Name two synthetic fibres.

Answer 1

Hint: A fibre is a thin thread of natural or synthetic substances, especially one that is used to make cloth or rope. Fibres are mainly two types that are Natural fibres and Synthetic fibres. They are classified on the basis of origin.

Complete step by step answer:
Nylon: It is a man made fibres, it can be made from carbon based chemical which is found in coal and petroleum in a high pressure, heated environment. This chemical reaction is known as condensation polymerization, and forms a large polymer in the form of a sheet of nylon. Nylon has a unique property that it does not absorb the water; this is great for some uses. It is used in sails, parachute, gown and car tires
Rayon: Rayon is a man made fibres that is made from the cellulose obtained from wood pulp or cotton. It is a low-cost and convenient fibre to work with and lends itself to diverse uses. There are several grades of rayon that can imitate the look and texture of other natural fibres such as cotton and silk.
 As we know that fibres are two types; Natural and synthetic fibres. Natural fibres are those fibres that are obtained from the plants or animals are called natural fibres. Examples of natural fibres are cotton, jute and silk.
A synthetic fibres are those fibres that are made by man from chemical substances are called synthetic fibres or artificial fibres. Examples of synthetic fibres are nylon, rayon and polyester.
Thus the names of two synthetic fibres are nylon and rayon.

Note:
Synthetic fibres are more durable than most natural fibres. In addition many synthetic fibres offer consumer friendly functions such as stretching, waterproof such as nylon, and stain resistance. They can be flexible.
