Natural fibers as the name suggest are minimally processed to keep the original natural properties. Cotton, flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, bamboo, sisal, and coconut fibers are a few examples of natural fibers. The fibers are harvested, cleaned, and used with minimal or no chemical manipulation.

Examples of Natural Fibers Common natural fibers sourced from the plant kingdom include cotton, flax, hemp, bamboo, sisal, and jute. Their main component is cellulose. From animals, we get popular fibers like wool, silk, angora, and mohair.

Natural fibre. Natural fibre, any hairlike raw material directly obtainable from an animal, vegetable, or mineral source and convertible into nonwoven fabrics such as felt or paper or, after spinning into yarns, into woven cloth.

For example – wool, silk. Vegetable fibres – the source of these fibres are different parts of a plant. For example – jute, hemp, linen, cotton. Mineral fibres – They are acquired from mineral resource such as asbestos….Thank you.

silk

Plant fibres include seed hairs, such as cotton; stem (or bast) fibres, such as flax and hemp;leaf fibres, such as sisal; and husk fibres, such as coconut. Animal fibres include wool, hair and secretions, such as silk.

Linen is a flax-based textile that is predominantly used for homeware applications. While linen is similar to cotton, it is made from fibers derived from the stems of the flax plant instead of the bolls that grow around cotton seeds.

Rayon and acetate are both artificial fibers, but not truly synthetic, being made from wood. Nylon, the first synthetic fiber in the “fully synthetic” sense of that term, was developed by Wallace Carothers, an American researcher at the chemical firm DuPont in the 1930s.

Which is the first man made Fibre? Regenerated fibers such as viscose rayon in 1892 and cellulose acetate in 1918 were the first man made to produce fibres.

Raw materials used in nylon are petroleum,natural gas,lime stone, coal,water,acetylene etc. polyster is made using purified terephthalic acid and monoethelyne glycol etc. >> Raw material : Naturally occurring polymer cellulose from wood pulp.

Description for Correct answer: Rayon or artificial silk is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. It is made from purified cellulose, primarily from wood pulp, which is chemically converted into a soluble compound.

Two of the ingredients that are used to synthesize the most common nylon, adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine, each contain six carbon atoms, and the product has been named nylon-6,6.

Ethylene is at this point still a gas and needs pressure and a catalyst to turn it into polyethylene, a resin. The process by which polyethylene is made from ethylene is known as polymerization. The term “plastic” suggests one material, but there are actually hundreds of different plastic polymers.
