What is synthetic fibre? Why this fibre is cheaper as compared to natural fibre
Answers
Answer:
Synthetic fibers 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.
The synthetic fibers that are cheaper than natural fibers are cheap because they are built from cheap raw materials and produced very efficiently, for example, nylon and polyester are mostly built from oil by-products and are efficiently produced in huge amounts.
