The answer is spandex.
Spandex is a synthetic fiber, which is noted for its exceptional elasticity. The name was chosen as an anagram for the word ‘expands’ by its inventor Joseph Shivers. Invented in 1958, this fiber was introduced to the market in 1962. It has more durability and strength than natural rubber. This is why it was used in many sectors of the clothing industry.
