Solution
- Fibres are thread-like structures with thin, long, and flexible strands that can be broadly defined. Plants and animals are the two main suppliers of fibres.
- Fibres can be classified as Natural and synthetic fibres
Natural-fibres: Natural Fibres are the fibres that are obtained naturally from plants and animals. These Fibres are basic materials that look like hair and can be obtained directly from plants and animals.
The natural fibres are classified as:
- Plant Fibre - Jute & Cotton
- Animal Fibre - Wool and Silk
Synthetic-fibres: These fibres are created artificially by humans in industries where polymers are developed to make fabrics with the use of simple chemicals.
Examples: Nylon, Teflon, Rayon are few examples of synthetic fibres
