Introduction
You know cadets;
We cannot increase the production of Natural fibres
the way we like.
Production of the Natural fibres is Season dependent,
type of Soil dependent, Climate dependent etc.
To mitigate the growing demand of fibres, we have to
find an alternative of Natural fibres.
Today, we shall discuss about the Artificial Fibres!
Synthetic Fibres
The fibres which are prepared in laboratories using chemicals are
known as Synthetic fibres. Synthetic fibres are made from
chemicals like Petroleum. e.g. Rayon, Nylon, Acrylic, Polyester
etc.
Uses:
Synthetic fibres like Nylon is very strong. Threads made of Nylon
is used in Parachutes and Rock climbing.
Synthetic fibres can be dyed very easily. Synthethic fabrics are
colourful.
Synthetic Fibres
Advantages:
Fabrics made from synthetic fibres do not wrinkle.
Synthetic fibres are strong.
Synthetic fibres do not absorb water. Clothes made from
synthetic fibres dry faster.
Synthetic fibres are not attacked by insects like moths and other
animals.
Disadvantages:
We do not feel comfortable when we wear synthetic fabrics in
summer because they do not absorb sweat.
Synthetic fibres burn easily; so we should not wear them while
working near a fire.
Synthetic fibres Vs Natural fibres:
Synthetic fibres
1. Synthetic fibres are artificially produced.
2. Production of synthetic fibres is unlimited.
3. Synthetic fibres are not attacked by insects like moths and other
animals.
4. Synthetic fibres are of low cost and can be dyed in different colours
very easily.
Natural Fibres
1. Natural fibres are naturally produced.
2. Production of natural fibres is limited.
3. Natural fibres are attacked by insects like moths and other animals.
4. Natural fibres are of high cost and cannot be dyed in different
colours very easily.

because they do not absorb sweat.
Synthetic fibres burn easily; so we should not wear them while working near
a fire.
Dive into the world of synthetic fibres, from their production in laboratories using chemicals to their uses and comparisons with natural fibres. Explore the advantages and disadvantages of synthetic fibres such as nylon, polyester, and more. Understand their properties, including wrinkle resistance, water repellency, and colorfastness, while also learning about their limitations in terms of comfort and flammability.
