Answers
Explanation:
Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer (polyacrylonitrile) with an average molecular weight of -100,000, about 1900 monomer units. For a fiber to be called "acrylic" in the US, the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylonitrile monomer. Typical comonomers are vinyl acetate or methyl acrylate.Acrylic fabric is very soft, plush and thick, whereas rayon is a very thin fabric. Rayon, because it is so thin, is generally not as strong and resistant to tears as acrylic thread, but there are types of rayon, such as High wet modulus rayon (HWM), that are incredibly strong, ..Acrylic is also a synthetic, man-made fabric that is primarily composed of the polymer polyacrylonitrile. Just like Nylon and Polyester, which were patented and further developed by DuPont, acrylic is also part of DuPont's synthetic fibers. It was created in 1941 and originally trademarked under the name Orlon..

Rayon has properties similar to those of silk.
It is a man-made fibre and cheaper than silk.
It is obtained from wood pulp.
It is infused with cotton or wool to prepare bedsheets and carpets respectively.
It is also known as artificial silk and can be dyed in a wide variety of colours.
These are strong elastic and light, lustrous and easy to wash fibres made from water, coal, and air initially.
The fibre is completely synthetic and stronger than steel wire.
It is used to make socks, ropes, toothbrushes, tents, seat belts, curtains, etc.
Used to make ropes for rock climbing and parachutes.
Polyester is made up of many units of an ester.
It is suitable for making dress material because it is easy to wash and stays crisp and wrinkle-free.
Terylene is a known polyester.
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is used to make many useful products like bottles, utensils, films, wires.
Many sweaters and blankets are not created from natural wool but from a kind of synthetic fibre known as acrylic.
The clothes prepared from acrylic are cheaper and more durable.
Acrylic is more prevalent than natural wool.
