Answers
Answer:
Nylon: Nylon is very strong. It is as strong as steel thread. It is a polyamide. It is used for toothbrush bristles, tents, sleeping bags, car seat belts, parachutes, ropes, etc. Nylon is a combination of Hexamethylene diamine and Adipic acid. It blends well with natural fibres.
Rayon: Even though it's raw material is cellulose, itbis considered a synthetic fibre because it. goes under a lot of chemical processes until it finally becomes Rayon. Rayon looks like silk and is hence called artificial silk. It is available in a variety of colours. It is mixed with cotton to make bedsheets, with wool to make carpets, and is commonly used in furnishings. It is relatively cheaper than silk.
Acrylic: It is called fake fur. It looks and feels like wool and is also called artificial wool. It is commonly used for winter wear like sweaters, shawls, etc. It is used widely because of its cheap price when compared to natural wool.
