Synthetic fibres are the man-made polymers designed to make a fabric. Polymers are obtained when many small units are joined together chemically.
Some of the examples of synthetic fibres are:
- Rayon: It is made from wood pulp. It is also known as artificial silk as it has characteristics resembling silk.
- Nylon: It was the first synthetic fibre. It is used in the making of ropes, sleeping bags, parachutes, different types of clothes, etc. It is one of the strongest fibres known to us.
