Big difference, Synthetic, generally refers to the thing itself being Synthetic, rather then Natural, whereas Man Made, refers to the process.

I mean,, cup cakes are man made, but are they Synthetic?


Why did the need for man made materials arise?

The need for man-made materials arose primarily due to the limitations of natural materials in meeting the diverse demands of modern society. As populations grew and technological advancements progressed, there was a demand for materials that could offer specific properties, such as enhanced strength, durability, or resistance to environmental factors. Additionally, the rapid industrialization and urbanization required materials that could be produced in large quantities and at lower costs, driving innovation in synthetic alternatives. This led to the development of various man-made materials, including plastics, composites, and synthetic fibers, which have since transformed industries and everyday life.
