Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. Because it is produced from naturally occurring polymers, it is neither a truly synthetic fiber nor a natural fiber; it is a semi-synthetic fiber. Rayon is known by the names viscose rayon and art silk in the textile industry. It usually has a high lustre quality giving it a bright sheen. Some major rayon fiber uses include apparel (e.g. blouses, dresses, jackets, linings, etc.), furnishings (e.g. bedsheets, blankets), industrial uses (e.g. medical surgery products, non-woven products, tire cord)

Rayon may be produced with bamboo as a raw material, and the two may be used for similar fabrics (though natural bamboo is not as smooth), rayon is so far removed from bamboo by chemical processing that the two are entirely separate.
