Question

Polycot is obtained by mixing:
A.Nylon and wool
B.Polyester and wool
C.Nylon and cotton
D.Polyester and cotton

Answer 1

Hint: To answer this question, we should know that polycot is the mixed fabric made by two fibres. It is made from natural fibre and synthetic fibre.

Step by step answer:
We should know that polycot is obtained by mixing polyester and cotton. Polycot is a popular polyester used in textile manufacturing units. We should know that polyester is a category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in their main chain. We should know that polyester fibers are sometimes spun together with natural fibres to produce a cloth with mixed properties. When we use polyester in using fabric, it has mixed properties like they have high water, wind and environmental resistance compared to plant-derived fibres. They are less fire-resistant and can melt when ignited.
And the other fabric that we use for the manufacturing of polycot is cotton. We use the thread of cotton to make a soft, breathable textile. We use cotton to make a number of textile products.
Now, we will know some advantages of cotton. Cotton fibres is free of chemicals. We should know that it is breathable – a great option for hot weather. We should note that cotton is hypoallergenic and does not irritate skin.
Now we will know some advantages of polyester. We should note that polyester is strong fabric. It is flexible and it dries quickly. We should note that it resists wrinkles and shrinking
We make polycot by mixing the advantages of both polyester and cotton. So, the answer to this question is option D. Polycot is made from polyester and cotton.
Note:
We should note that there are other artificial fibres also. Rayon is called artificial silk and it is made from cellulose which comes from wood pulp. Another artificial fibre is nylon.This type of synthetic fibre is obtained from coal, water and air. Nylon is very lustrous, easy to wash and elastic. We should note that it dries quickly and retains its shape. We use nylon in seat belts of cars, sleeping bags, socks, ropes, etc.
