Question

5 advantages and 5 disadvantages of natural fibers

Answer 1

Advantages

1. Comfortable Clothes made by natural fibres are more comfortable than those made by synthetic fibres.

2. Environment Producing materials from natural fibres areless harmful to our environment.

3. Fire resistant Natural fibres are resistantto fire but polymer based fibres will melt.

4 Increase in shear capacity when used inbeams

5.Modest increase in flexural strength.



Disadvantages

1. Expensive Materials produced by naturalfibres are generally expensive as syntheticfibres can be made easily by manufacturing.

2. Shrink Natural fibres might shrink due toaggressive washing.

3.Heavy in weight.

4.Natural fibres do not possess a high degree of resiliency as compared to manmade fibres,hence the fabrics made out ofthem do get wrinkles from ‘baggy knees’, possess less crease recovery.


5.Production of natural fibres cannot be completely controllable. Therefore, from year to year quantities of specific qualities vary and this tends to cause price fluctuations according to variations in demand which cannot be foreseen until the fibres have been produced.

Answer 2

Advantages of Natural Fibres:
--->They are made up of natural sources like plants and animals.
---> Fire resistant.
--->On burning the natural fibres we don't get poisonous gases.
--->Easily affordable.
---> Absorbs  sweat and water hence these types of clothes are preferred to wear in summer.

Disadvantages Of natural Fibres :
---> Are not very strong compared to synthetic fibres.
----> Natural Fibres are heavy in weight .
---> Natural fibres can be damaged by moths.
---> Not wrinkle free
--->They are not durable.
