artificial fiber:
Synthetic fibers are man-made fibers that are manufactured in factories by chemical means and are not used in carpet weaving because they lack the necessary properties and are of two types:
1- Synthetic fibers derived from oil and having the following types.
A) polyamides b) polyesters c) polyacrylonitriles
2- There are fibers that are re-made by humans and its types are:
A) Viscose: It looks similar to silk but loses its resistance to moisture.
B) B) Raven: It is very similar to silk made of cellulose fibers. But because it has a protein source, its resistance is high.
C) However, these two types of fibers have cellulosic roots.
