What are the three synthetic materials?

Time：2023-08-28

The three major synthetic materials are plastics, synthetic rubber and synthetic fibers.

Plastics: Everyone is familiar with plastics. Industry, commerce, agriculture, and families are widely used in various plastic products, such as plastic pipes, plates, plastic films, plastic basins, chairs, shoes, raincoats, bottles, etc. The world's plastic production is twice that of steel and 17 times that of non-ferrous metals. The main component of plastic is resin, and the name of plastic is determined according to the type of resin.

2, synthetic rubber: is the use of low molecular material synthesis of a class of elastic special linear polymers, such as styrene butadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber and nitrile rubber. Synthetic rubber is superior to natural rubber in many properties and is widely used in the tire and shoe industries.

3. Synthetic fiber is a linear polymer made by polymerization of certain low-molecular substances. There are many varieties of synthetic fibers, such as nylon, polyester and artificial wool (polyacrylonitrile). Synthetic fiber abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, no shrinkage. The clothes made with it are not easy to wrinkle and are strong and durable.
