The fibre obtained by processing cellulose is called Rayon
The fibre obtained by processing cellulose is Rayon.
Explanation:
Rayon is a synthetic fibre, meaning it does not occur naturally. It is manufactured from cellulose, which is obtained from wood and other agricultural products.
Rayon has many types of quality that imitates silk, cotton, linen or wool. The types that resemble silk are often called artificial silk.
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.
Based on the manufacturing process and the quality of the finished product, rayon can be classified as viscose, lyocell or modal. Rayon that resembles silk in quality is also called artificial silk.
