What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Synthetic Fibres Advantages of Synthetic Fibres Synthetic fibres have the following advantages. Most synthetic fibres have good elasticity. Most fabrics made of synthetic fibres do not wrinkle easily. Fabrics made of synthetic fibres are generally more durable, less expensive, and more readily available than those made of natural […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[2804,2805],"yoast_head":"\n
\nMaterials needed: Weight box with different weights (1-100 g), iron stand with damp, hook or pan, thin threads of nylon, wool, cotton, and silk (of same length and almost equal thickness)
\nMethod:<\/strong>
\n1. Tie one end of the nylon thread to a hook or pan and the other end to the clamp (figure a).
\n2. Put a small weight on the hook\/pan (figure b).
\n3. Keep on increasing the weight till the thread breaks (figure c). Note the total weight required to break the thread.
\n
\n4. Repeat the procedure with the other threads.
\nObservation:<\/strong> More weight is required to break the nylon thread as compared to the others.
\nConclusion:<\/strong> The thread that breaks at the maximum weight (nylon) is the strongest.<\/p>\n\n
Disadvantages of Synthetic Fibres<\/h3>\n
\n
\nMethod:<\/strong>
\n1. Soak each cloth piece in a different beaker\/mug.
\n2. After 5 minutes, take out the cloth pieces and observe the water remaining in the beakers\/ mugs.
\nObservation:<\/strong> More water is left in the beaker\/mug in which the nylon cloth was soaked.
\nConclusion:<\/strong> Nylon absorbs less water as compared to cotton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
