Question

What is rayon? How is rayon made?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rayon is a manufactured fiber made from natural sources such as wood and agricultural products that are regenerated as cellulose fiber. The many types and grades of rayon can imitate the feel and texture of natural fibers such as silk, wool, cotton, and linen. The types that resemble silk are often called artificial silk.

Explanation:

Rayon is manufactured from natural cellulose, and hence is not considered to be synthetic.[1] Technically, the term synthetic fiber is reserved for fully synthetic fibers. In manufacturing terms, rayon is classified as "a fiber formed by regenerating natural materials into a usable form".[2] Specific types of rayon include viscose, modal and lyocell, each of which differs in the manufacturing process and the properties of the finished product

Answer 2

Explanation:

Rayon is a man-made fibre prepared from a natural raw material called cellulose by chemical treatment. The cellulose required for making rayon is obtained from wood pulp. Rayon is obtained by the chemical treatment of wood pulp. ... Since rayon resembles silk in appearance therefore rayon is also called artificial silk

Rayon is made from purified cellulose, harvested primarily from wood pulp, which is chemically converted into a soluble compound. It is then dissolved and forced through a spinneret to produce filaments which are chemically solidified, resulting in fibers of nearly pure cellulose.
