The first synthetic fiber was nylon, discovered in 1935 by Wallace Carothers, who was a chemist working for DuPont. Nylon was the first successful synthetic textile fiber and revolutionized the textile industry.
Elastane is itself a synthetic fiber. In the US it goes by the name "spandex". It's a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer that was developed in 1959.
Lucite is a trade name for acrylic. They mean the same thing
Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer (polyacrylonitrile) with an average molecular weight of ~100,000, about 1900 monomer units. To be called acrylic in the U.S, the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylonitrile monomer. Typical comonomers are vinyl acetate or methyl acrylate. The Dupont Corporation created the first acrylic fibers in 1941 and trademarked them under the name Orlon

The old name of polyester fiber is "Dacron." Dacron was a trademark name created by the DuPont company in the 1950s for their polyester fiber, which became widely used in textiles and apparel. The term "polyester" itself refers to the broader category of synthetic fibers made from polyester resin.
The proper name for acrylic is poly(methyl methacrylate), often abbreviated as PMMA. It is a synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomers and is commonly used as a lightweight, shatter-resistant alternative to glass in various applications, including lenses, displays, and signage.
