Name the man-made fibre prepared from natural materials.
Answers
Explanation:
Synthetic fibers are made from synthesized polymers of small molecules. The compounds that are used to make these fibers come from raw materials such as petroleum based chemicals or petrochemicals. These materials are polymerized into a chemical that bonds two adjacent carbon atoms. Differing chemical compounds are used to produce different types of synthetic fibers.[citation needed]
Rayon
Explanation:
Rayon is a semi-synthetic fibre made from wood pulp. It has a silk like appearance. Its fibres can be woven like those of natural fibres. It can be dyed in a wide variety of colours. Rayon is manufactured from natural materials like wood pulp, which when treated by certain chemicals becomes a soluble compound. The soluble compound is then dissolved and the spun into fibre by forcing it through spinneret and chemically solidified.
