It is different from natural fibres.

Synthetic fibre is also made up of a series of tiny units that are linked together which forms a larger unit called a polymer.

Each little unit is made up of a chemical compound

The most common example of man-made fibre is Nylon.

Coal, water, and air were used to make it.

It was the world's first completely synthetic fibre.

Nylon is a strong, elastic, and light fibre.
