Fibres

Like most of the things on Earth

Fibres also bear their origin to two types of birth.

viz  Natural and Synthetic

As the name goes natural fibres are from natural sources

Jute, Silk, Linen, Hemp, Cashmere,Cotton,Wool from plant and animal sources.

Necessity is the mother of all invention 

Man made artificial fibres to keep pace with his evolution.

Synthetic is the name given to these fibres

The qualities that they possess far outweigh than those of natural fibres.

Polyster, Nylon,Acrylic,Olefin,Spandex,Teflon

Durability, tensile strength, affordability are the properties they have in aplomb.

Synthetic Fibres consist many small repeating units known as monomers

Many monomers combine to form large single units called polymers.

Process combining small monomers to form a polymer is polymerization

Discovered in 1907, it was Leo Baekeland’s invention.

Semi Synthetic Fibres are a hybrid version

Derived from some naturally occurring fibres through chemical amalgamation.

Rayon,Viscose,Lyocell,Cupro and Modal are some examples

The process yielding fabrics from these fibres is also simple.

Both Natural and Synthetic fibres have their pros and cons

But in the end, it all narrows down to one thing,” PURPOSE”

If you want clothes for summer natural fibres should be your pick

If you want clothes for winter then synthetic fibres should be your click

But if you want to save nature and live healthy

The Natural Fibres, especially the reused and recycled ones should be your tick!
