Strength of a fibre: Synthetic fibres are strong and do not tear easily in daily use.&nbsp;For example, a parachute is made out of a woven nylon fabric, which is extremely&nbsp;strong and durable. Ropes are also made of nylon.&nbsp;
Elasticity of a fibre: Elasticity is the property by which a fibre tends to go back&nbsp;to its original length after being stretched. Garments that are made of elastic fibres&nbsp;tend to keep their shape.&nbsp;
Effect of heat: Some synthetic fibres catch fire easily. They are inflammable. On&nbsp;heating, they stick to the body of the person wearing them. That is why, synthetic&nbsp;clothes should not be worn in kitchens, laboratories and while bursting firecrackers.&nbsp;
