Question

Which of the following represent(s) the characteristics of synthetic fibres?
(A) They dry up quickly
(B) They are durable
(C) They are less expensive and readily available
(D) They are easy to maintain

Answer 1

Hint: Now synthetic means man made. Therefore, synthetic fibres are those fibres which are synthesized in laboratories. They are very much more durable than the natural fibres synthetic fibre out of vast Importance.

Complete step by step answer
Now synthetic fibres are made by humans, they are synthesized in laboratories using chemicals. There were several countries which did not know how to produce natural fibres and what techniques were used to produce natural fibres. which were more durable. Synthetic fibres are also known as artificial fibres. Synthetic fibres are produced by the process of polymerization. Polymerization is a process in which the same monomers are joined in a singular long chain. There are considered to be two types of polymerization. The first one is linear polymerization, that is the polymerization of the same monomers and Cross polymerization that is polymerization of two monomers in a long chain.
Since we know the synthetic fibres are more durable, they can also be dyed as accordingly. They are also water resistant and they dry up easily. And therefore they are easy to maintain.
Some common examples of synthetic fibres are nylon, modacrylic, olefin, acrylic, polyester, etc.
So from the above explanation, we can see that the polymer or synthetic fibre contain all of the above options as their qualities.
Therefore, all of the given options are correct.

Note
During the world war second the nylon was first made and introduced, soon it replaced the market place for silk, because it was cheaper, more durable and was readily available. It was the first synthetic fibre ever to be produced.
