Answer 1

Answer:

Rayon

Explanation:

• Rayon is a synthetic fiber or man-made fiber or artificial fiber as it is prepared from the natural raw material called cellulose. So, rayon has the same kind of molecular structure just like cellulose.

• The cellulose required for this preparation is obtained from wood pulp by chemical treatment. There are many kinds of viscose rayon fibers which have been made artificially. Some of these fibers have shine and strength and imitate or resemble the feel and texture of natural fibers like silk, wool, cotton and linen. The kind of rayon fibers which imitate the feel and texture of natural silk is therefore termed as 'artificial silk'.
