Because you can design a synthetic polymer to exactly meet your needs. You can modify a natural polymer sometimes if it's not what you need, but at that point is it really a "natural" polymer?
Take cellulose--a perfectly serviceable natural polymer, they build millions of homes every year out of it. But what if you need a polymer you can see through? Cellulose won't work for you there unless you dissolve it in acetic acid (cellulose acetate) or nitric acid (cellulose nitrate). By the time you're done, you have a polymer that's no longer really "natural."
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers.
Natural polymers are also less plentiful.
They are more durable, have wider range of properties to work with, and usually can't be eaten by microorganisms.
Generally speaking synthetic materials are man made and do not occur in nature. Example are plastics certain alloys etc. There are some things that can be both synthetic and natural such as some drugs and chemicals
Traditional glues made from plant or animal materials can be eaten by fungi. However most modern synthetic glues made from synthetic polymers cannot support the growth of fungi.
I can give you several sentences.Synthetic cloth is easier to care for than natural fibers.Using synthetic materials often saves natural resources.Almost any substance can be made by synthetic means.
no, selenium is an element. Synthetic materials are ones that are fabricated by mankind
Ropes are classified in 2 categories. The first is synthetic or natural materials such as cotton or hemp. The other type is non-synthetic rope which is made from non natural materials such as polypropylene, nylon, and polyesters. Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than natural fibers, but also have disadvantages.
synthetic paper is paper that is made from man made materials and not from trees
Synthetic materials are materials created by humans i.e. rubber made by rubber trees or manufacterers, clothes are made from nylon which are made by manufacterers as well.Natural materials are made of chemicals like wood and paper which comes from trees.
Synthetic materials are man-made materials. Examples are: 1.polystyrene, 2.Polyethene, 3.polyester, 4.spandex,
Non-synthetic materials are materials that are natural and not chemically/synthetically made. These materials are usually made by plants or animalsExamples:WoolCottonSilkLinenAngora

Industrial fabrics may be made out of natural materials or synthetic materials. Vinyl and plastic fabrics are common synthetic materials and these can be used as light insulators.

rubber, leather or synthetic materials
Shirts are made out of different materials. One of the most common materials for shirts is cotton, but they may also be made out of silk, wool, or synthetic materials.
Synthetic materials are any materials that do not occur naturally and are man-made, usually by chemical processes. These can include a huge range of materials including plastics, nylons, ceramic materials and even some metals.
