why did synthetic fibres come into the existence?
Answers
Synthetic fibre is found by an American researcher in 1930.It is made by synthesized polymer of small molecules. It came from petroleum based chemicals or petropetrochemicals.It is more comfortable and have high tensile strength and sold cheap than natural fibres.Thus came into existence.
Synthetic fibers are more durable than most natural fibers and will readily pick-up different dyes. In addition, many synthetic fibers offer consumer-friendly functions such as stretching, waterproofing and stain resistance. Sunlight, moisture, and oils from human skin cause all fibers to break down and wear away. Natural fibers tend to be much more sensitive than synthetic blends. This is mainly because natural products are biodegradable. Natural fibers are susceptible to larval insect infestation; synthetic fibers are not a good food source for fabric-damaging insects and so synthetic fibres came into existence.
