Types of synthetic fibres
The man-made fibres produced from chemical substances are called synthetic fibres.
They are made in industry by the chemical process called polymerisation.A synthetic fibre is a long chain of small units joined together.
Many many small small units join together one after the other to form a very large single unit called polymer.
A synthetic polymer is made from the molecules of a monomer joined together to form very long chains.
They are also known as man-made fibres or artificial fibres.
There are 4 major types of synthetic fibres or man-made fibres:
1)Rayon
2)Nylon
3)Polyester
4)Acrylic
Fine. But need to add some extra
