Wikipedia

  1. man-made fiber

    Fiber or fibre (from Latin: fibra) is a natural or artificial substance that is significantly longer than it is wide. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials. The strongest engineering materials often incorporate fibers, for example carbon fiber and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. Synthetic fibers can often be produced very cheaply and in large amounts compared to natural fibers, but for clothing natural fibers can give some benefits, such as comfort, over their synthetic counterparts.

  1. man-made fiber

    Man-made fiber, also known as synthetic fiber, refers to materials produced through chemical synthesis, often derived from oil through a process known as polymerisation. Unlike natural fibers that come directly from plants or animal sources (like cotton or wool), man-made fibers are created using chemical processes and are often designed to have specific properties such as higher durability, water resistance, or heat retention. Examples include nylon, polyester, and acrylics.
