We all wear different styles of cloth in our daily life. And all those clothes materials will include different fabrics. Either it is a synthetic fibre, natural fiber, or polymer. So always it becomes a concern how they differ from each other?
Fibre:
What is fibre? Isn't it the material which is used in clothes? Or what is it?
Fibre is the only material that helps in the development of fabric.
And this fabric also designs the home things.
Polymer:
The word 'Polymer' consists of two words, I.e., Poly(many) +mer(unit).
It includes many units.
And it is also known as a larger unit. Further, which helps in making the 'fibre & fabric.'
1. Synthetic Fibre:
Synthetic fibres are human-made fibres. And are:
Durable
Easily affordable
For e.g., Nylon & Rayon
2. Natural Fibre:
Have you heard about fibre coming from animals & plants? Yes, these are among those only!
e.g.Cotton, silk, and wool.
3. Plastics:
What is plastic? You can define plastic-like. It is only a material that is similar to synthetic fibre.
Thermoplastics:
Most flexible plastics!
Ease to bend (it resolve with heating)
Thermosetting plastics:
Hard plastics!
Bend only once, i.e., with a one-time heating process only.
