Synthetic fiber
Synthetic fibres are the result of extensive research by scientists to increase and improve upon the supply of naturally occurring animal and plant fibres that have been used in making cloth and rope. In general, synthetic fibres, or man-made fibres, are created by forcing, usually through extrusion, fibre forming materials through holes (called spinnerets) into the air, forming a thread.Common synthetic fibres include:Rayon (1910) (an artificial fibre, but not truly synthetic)Acetate (1924)Nylon (1939)Modacrylic (1949)Olefin (1949)Acrylic (1950)Polyester (1953)PLA (2002)
