What's the difference between natural fiber and chemical fiber?
Synthetic fibers, which make up the majority of chemical fibers, are fibers made from synthetic polymers of natural small molecules. Including polyester fiber, polyamide fiber, polyacrylonitrile fiber and other varieties.
A chemical fiber is a fibrous object made by artificial processing, and a chemical fiber can be divided into two categories: man-made fiber and synthetic fiber.1. man-made fibres, artificial fibres, also called recycled fibers, are fibers made from natural polymers or fibers that lose the value of textile processing. It includes synthetic cellulose fiber, artificial protein fiber, artificial inorganic fiber and artificial organic fiber.The man-made cellulose fibers: viscose, acetate fiber etc..The artificial protein fiber: soybean fiber, peanut fiber etc..The man-made mineral fibre: glass fiber, metal fiber, carbon fiber and so on.The synthetic organic fiber: chitin (crab shell) fiber, seaweed glue fiber etc..
Natural fiber is a natural fiber that can be obtained directly. Natural fiber can be divided into plant fiber, animal fiber and mineral fiber three kinds.1., plant fiber, plant fiber, also known as natural cellulose fiber, is the plant seeds, fruits, stems, leaves and other places to obtain fiber. It includes seed fiber, phloem fiber and leaf fiber.The seed fiber such as cotton, kapok etc.;The bast fiber such as ramie, flax and jute, kenaf and Apocynum etc;The leaves of sisal, Abaca fiber, such as.2. animal fiber, also known as natural protein fiber, is obtained from the hair of animals or the gland secretions of insects. It contains hair and glandular secretions.The hair: wool, cashmere, camel hair, yak hair, etc.;The gland secretion: Sang silk, tussah silk, silk, silk and other cassava castor.3. mineral fibers, mineral fibers, also known as natural inorganic fibers, are fibers extracted from minerals. Mainly including asbestos.
