Synthetic fibers are made from chemicals consisting of superior properties to natural fibers such as cotton or silk. Synthetic textiles are made from either inorganic products or a mixture of organic ones and chemicals.

Synthetic fibers are made from raw materials such as petroleum, based on chemicals or petrochemicals [20]. These materials are polymerized into a long, linear chemical with different chemical compounds and are used to produce various types of fibers.
