Question

write any five advantage of synthetic fibre over natural fibre

Answer 1

Synthetic fibers (British English: synthetic fibres) are fibers made by humans with chemical synthesis, as opposed to natural fibers that humans get from living organisms with little or no chemical changes. They are the result of extensive research by scientiststo improve on naturally occurring animal fibers and plant fibers. In general, synthetic fibers are created by extruding fiber-forming materials through spinnerets into air and water, forming a thread. These fibers are called synthetic or artificial fibers. Some fibers (such as the diverse family of rayons) are manufactured from plant-derived celluloseand are thus semisynthetic, whereas others are totally synthetic, being made from crudes and intermediates including petroleum, coal, limestone, air, and water. In the textile industries, cellulose fibers are usually differentiated from synthetic fibers in the sense of fully synthetic ones.

Synthetic fabrics are textiles made from synthetic fibers rather than natural fibers.
