Do synthetic fiber soak less/more water than the natural fiber.Do synthetic fiber take less/more time to dry. What does the activity tell you about the characteristics of the synthetic fiber.
Answers
Synthetic fibres soak less water than the natural fibre.
• The natural fibres have significant amount of hollow space in their structure. That's why, the synthetic fibres are able to soak a lot of water.
• But, the natural fibres are rigid in nature. These fibres don't have any hollow spaces in their structure. That's why,these fibres soak less amount of water than the natural fibres.
The activity states that the synthetic fibres are rigid in nature and don't have hollow space in their structure. That's why, synthetic fibres soak less amount of water and they gains tensile strength.
synthetic fibres soak less water than the natural fibres
Explanation:
Synthetic fibres soak less water than natural fibres because they don't have any hollow space in midst of single fibre. They take less time to dry because the water does not enter in the single fibre of that cloth.
