Well, I'll just take a guess.  Synthetic textiles are petroleum-based or made from some other non-plant product.  They are essentially fibers of plastic such as polyester and nylon.

Most clothing now a days are made from man made fibers.\n The action of body movement causes the material to rub together. Also dry air warm air will speed up the generation of static. Walking on man made fibre carpets, plastic desks`etc in  the office will generate static because there is no ground to discharge it.  Nylon underware will also generate static.You will notice this some times when you first touch any metal connected to ground after being in the above envioment. You will hear a crack and experience an eclectic shock. Some static electricity can be generated up to 4,000 v. Oil tankers doing tank washing with sea water can generate this kind of voltage. If the tanks are not Inerted with CO2 an explosion can occur

Yes, fabrics, basalt fibres are some of them.

There is an online store that sells Organic Cotton Infant Clothing and receives their products from India.  They are called Joli Bebe Boutique - more information regarding their products is available on their website at www.jolibebeboutique.com.  There are a number of companies that can provide you with any end product in organic cotton that you design.  The end products are up to the imagination.  If you can design it, they can create it.  The cotton used in production in India does not all necessarily come from Indian farms.  The cotton and fabric could be obtained from numerous countries in order to fulfill an order.  This is where it is important to ask for information regarding their certification, so that you can confirm where the cotton is coming from and where it is certified organic cotton.

Lycra is a type of Spandex.  They are segmented polyurethanes (SPU).  See the first link.\n\nFrom the second link: \nA new class of segmented polyurethane elastomers has been developed to mimic the morphology of spider silk fibers. Segmented polyurethanes consist of alternating hard and soft segments within the same polymer backbone. The hard segments phase separate into microcrystalline regions, which anchor the ends of the soft segments and lead to a large-scale physically cross-linked network structure.

One way to really find out the answer to your question would be to put wool and nylon thread under a microscope.  \n\nBut, even with the naked eye, one can see that a wool thread is spun and will have many little teeny hairs emerging from the body of the thread.  A nylon thread is a synthetic, which should look smooth while compared to the natural fiber.\n\nWhy would the wool be a better thread to use for a sweater or scarf than the nylon?

Here are a couple of resources for you:\nMetyx makes high quality Woven fabrics and Univar should be able to supply the resins etc.

* creating diferent types of synthetic fibers out of which new materials for clothing can be made.  maybe lighter clothing or warmer clothing, clothing that can change colors, things like that\n\n* development of machines and other instruments that could allow for clothes to be made more cost efficiently\n\n* as new technologies are created, new demands are placed on fashion - take the ipod for example.  wit its development, things like shirts with a ipod pocket could be created to go along with the technology\n\nthose are just some ideas

A polyurethane is made from a chain of organic monomers linked by urethane links.\nThe raw materials will be determined by the desired effect of the polyurethane (ie fire resistance etc).\nCan be produced using a diisocyanate (types aromatic and aliphatic) with a polyol (usually a polyethelene glycolor polyester polyol) in the presence of a catalyst that will control the cell structure.

Generally because there is a greater spacing between the cotton fibers. Synthetic fibers naturally fall closer together. Cotton PJ's are also better for little kids to wear, they will burn off. Synthetic clothes will simply melt from heat.

Synthetic phonics is an approach to reading and phonics that has appeared recently in the news in the UK.  It differs from the analytic phonics approach.  According to one report, synthetic phonics involves learning to pronounce the sounds (phonemes) associated with letters "in isolation".  These individual sounds can be blended together (synthesised) to form words.  In the analytic phonics approach, children are not taught the sounds of letters in isolation, but are taught to recognize the beginning and ending sounds of words.\n\nA good resource to learn more for you may be the National Literacy Trust web site.

Polyester is a category of polymers which contain the ester group in its' main chain. \n\nUsually, polyester refers to cloth woven from polyester fiber. \n\nPolyesters do exist in nature (Plant Cuticle), however, polyester generally refers to the large family of synthetic polyesters (plastics) which includes polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).\n\nGet an "A".
