synthetics (Artificial)
Synthetics, or artificial materials, are substances created through chemical processes rather than occurring naturally. They are designed to mimic or enhance the properties of natural materials, such as rubber, silk, or plastic. Common examples include synthetic fibers used in clothing and synthetic rubber used in tires.
These materials are often more durable, versatile, and cost-effective than their natural counterparts. Synthetics play a crucial role in various industries, including textiles, automotive, and construction, contributing to advancements in technology and everyday products. Their development has led to significant changes in manufacturing and consumer habits.
