Question

what are the advantages of using man made fibres over natural fibres?

Answer 1

The disadvantage of using synthetic fibres over man-made fibre are:

i. they melt at low temperatures and melt before burning

ii. they are non-biodegradable and so harmful for the environment

iii. they tend to accumulate electric charge thereby causing irritation to our sin

iv. they do not absorb water, sweat or liquid when wet. So, they tend to make us cold when wet and hot when we sweat.
