Name the fully synthetic fibre . How is it prepare ? write its advantages and use .
Answers
Answer:
Synthetic fiber or synthetic fibre (in British English; see spelling differences) are fibers made by humans through chemical synthesis, as opposed to natural fibers that are directly derived from living organisms. They are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve upon naturally occurring animal and plant fibers. In general, synthetic fibers are created by extruding fiber-forming materials through spinnerets, forming a 'different' fiber. These are called synthetic or artificial fibers. Synthetic fibers are created by a process known as polymerization, which involves combining monomers to make a long chain or polymer. The word polymer comes from a Greek prefix "poly" which means "many" and suffix "mer" which means "single units". (Note: each single unit of a polymer is called a monomer). There are two types of polymerization: linear polymerization and cross-linked polymerization.
Answer:
Nylon is the fully synthetic fibre..
Nylon is made by reacting together two large molecules, diamine acid and dicarboxylic acid. They fuse together to make an even larger molecule and give off water. The large polymer formed in this case is the most common type called nylon-6,6. A giant sheet or ribbon of nylon is produced that is shredded into chips
ADVANTAGES:-
Nylon has many uses to it. These are some advantages of the fibre:
*High elongation
*Used in many things ( including carpets and nylon stockings )
*Many chemicals
*Used in many military applications
*Resistance to : fungi , insects and animals
*Melts instead of burns
*Can with stand in different temperatures
*Ability to be lustrous
*Is heat set
*Paved the way of easy-care garments
USES:-
Nylon is used for a variety of applications, including clothing, reinforcement in rubber material like car tires, for use as a rope or thread, and for many injection molded parts for vehicles and mechanical equipment.
