A synthetic fibre is also a chain of small units joined together.

Each small uni


t is actually a chemical substance. Many such small units combine to form a larg
e single unit called a polymer. The word polymer comes from two Greek words; poly
meaning many and mer meaning part/unit. So, a polymer is made of many repeating
units.
Polymers occur in nature also. Cotton, for example, is a polymer called cellulos
e. Cellulose is made up of a large number of glucose units.
