Question

can anyone pls tell me the difference between rayon and nylon in simple sentences....................... fast it is urgent

Answer 1

Both nylon and rayon are synthetic fibres .
But the difference is that rayon is not fully synthetic fibre . But nylon is fully developed synthetic fiber .

Answer 2

Nylon Fibers

Most nylon manufactured today is nylon 6.6, a chemical composition that was developed by DuPont in 1935. A thermoplastic material, the fiber is produced by combining equal parts diamine and dicarboxylic acid, which react and create nylon salt. This compound is high in carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. The salt is heated and dehydrated to form the polymer, which is melted and spun to create the nylon fiber.

Rayon Fibers

One of the major differences between nylon and rayon is their chemical makeup. Rayon is made from organic matter. A cellulose fiber, meaning it's derived from wood, rayon is made from a high-grade wood pulp called "dissolving cellulose." The pulp is refined with a caustic soda or lye solution before it's streamed through a spinneret, a device that resembles a shower head. The fibers solidify in an alkali-based bath to produce fine silken fibers.

Nylon fibers are stronger than rayon, producing a smooth fabric that's strong, elastic and abrasion-resistant. It's difficult to permanently mar the man-made fabric, because it's resistant to oil and chemical stains, and easy to wash. Unlike nylon, rayon is a highly absorbent fabric that can be more luxurious to the touch. However, the fabric is more fragile; rayon can be more difficult to wash and must be dried flat. Furthermore, unlike nylon, rayon has a low melting point, so rayon fabric must be ironed with a medium to cool iron.
