Question

Synthetic fibres are strong, elastic, light, wrinkle-resistant, and easy to wash and dry. Even with so many advantages, we do not wear clothes made of pure synthetic fibres, but a mixture of synthetic and natural fibres. Why is this necessary?

Answer 1

Even with so many advantages, we do not wear clothes made of pure synthetic fibres because:

1. They do not absorb sweat or water and they stick to the body, which makes them uncomfortable to wear in hot humid conditions.
2. They catch fire very readily, they melt on heating and stick to the body. Therefore, they can cause severe burn injuries.
