Solution

Synthetic fibers are man-made polymers. Machine gears require high strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals.

Nylon-66, a polyamide, has excellent mechanical properties like high tensile strength and low friction, making it ideal for high-performance gears. Its structure provides toughness.

Final Answer: Nylon-66
