Question

write three differences between natural and synthetic fibre

Answer 1

Answer:

answer below

Explanation:

NATURAL FIBRE

• They are made from animals and plants.

• Natural fibres are biodegradable and eco-friendly.
• Eg. Cotton and Wool

SYNTHETIC FIBRE

• They are made by humans artificially.
• Synthetic fibres are non-biodegradable.
• Eg. Nylon and Polyster

Answer 2

Answer:

Three differences between natural and synthetic fibres are:

Natural fibres:

i. These fibres are obtained from natural sources such as plants and animals. Thus, they are biodegradable.

ii. Possess natural colour and environment friendly

iii. Less durable as compared to synthetic fibres

example: wool, cotton, silk, linen

Synthetic fibres:  

i. These fibres are obtained from synthetic or artificial (manmade) sources and thus, are non-biodegradable.

ii. Synthetic colours are added as per requirement and are not environment friendly

iii. More durable than natural fibres. Example- polyester, acrylic, nylon

Explanation:

• Fabrics are made from fibres obtained from natural or artificial sources.

• Natural fibres are the fibres that are obtained from natural sources that come as plants, animals, or minerals.
• The raw, natural materials are spun into threads and yarns that are then woven or knit into natural fabrics.
• There are two general categories of natural fibres: animal-based and plant-based.
• Animal-based natural fibres include silk and wool, while plant-based natural fibres include cotton, linen, and jute.

• Synthetic fibres/manmade fibres are made of synthetic materials, usually formed through chemical processes.
• The fibres are generally extracted during the chemical process using a spinneret, which is a device that takes polymers to form fibres.
