Answer to Question #206909 in Organic Chemistry for Ana

Question

I am currently writing a report with a claim that synthetic materials are better than natural materials. What would be the easiest road I can go on with this claim, and the one that would have a good amount of data on the internet. The report is going to be based of all organic chem.

Answer 1

Synthetic materials provide a number of benefits. They can be easier to produce than natural materials, and they can function better than natural materials as well.

Since synthetic fabrics are man-made, artificial fibers, they have many benefits for daily use including their affordability along with their stain and water resistance.

• Cheaper. Most natural fibers can be incredibly expensive, especially in their pure form, and synthetic fibers provide cheaper alternatives to the natural products. Many synthetic fabrics are imitation versions of natural fabrics, like wool and silk.
• Stain resistant. Synthetic fabrics tend to be more stain resistant, and some are even designed to resist staining, therefor synthetic clothing can be great for daily, regular wear.
• Waterproof and water resistant. While some natural fibers resist water, synthetic fibers can be designed to be almost completely waterproof so they are great for outdoor and rain gear.
