Answer 1

Nylon was the first synthetic fibre. It was made by the Wallace Carothers, who worked at the DuPont in 1930's.

Answer 2

Answer:

rayon is the first synthetic fiber but as it is made from wood cellulose, so it is not a synthetic fiber completely. So it is the first man made fiber. Nylon is the first synthetic fiber made completely of chemicals. So, it is called the first synthetic fiber.
