Solution

Synthetic fibres:
Synthetic fibres are man-made fibres, with the majority of them manufactured from petroleum basic materials known as petrochemicals.
All textiles are formed from fibres, which can be derived from natural or artificial sources.
They are made up of a tiny unit or polymer that is made up of multiple repeating units known as monomers.
Polyester, acrylic, nylon, rayon, acetate, spandex, latex, and Kevlar are examples of synthetic textiles.
Plastic:
Plastic is a polymeric substance that can be moulded or formed, often by the use of heat and pressure.
Plasticity, when combined with other specific features like as low density, low electrical conductivity, transparency, and toughness, enables plastics to be produced in a wide range of items.
So, Like synthetic fibres, plastic is also Polymer.
