The first synthetic fiber, Nylon, was created by Wallace Carothers in 1935.
Stephanie Kwoleck discovered properties of polymers to enable her to develop the first liquid crystal polymer. Her discovery led to the devlopment of Kevlar aramid fibre, with its very light threads which are stronger than steel. This fibre has been used to build spacecraft and bullet-proof vests.
The chemical element with the longest name is Darmstadtium. It is a synthetic element that was named after the city of Darmstadt in Germany where it was discovered.
The original name of darmstadtium was ununnilium when it was first discovered in 1994. It was later named darmstadtium after the city of Darmstadt, Germany where the research facility that discovered it is located.
French chemist Henri Moissan is credited with the discovery of the element fluorine, not Teflon (which is a trademarked name referring to a synthetic polymer called polytetrafluoroethylene). Teflon was discovered by Roy Plunkett, an American chemist, while working for DuPont in 1938.
Theobromine was discovered in 1841 by a Russian scientist by the name of Alexander Woskresensky.

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.
Any scientist, it is an error.
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.
Inorganic fibers are synthetic because they are not composed of organic matter, ie, wool, hemp, cotton.

Lycra is a brand name for spandex. Spandex is a synthetic fiber made primarily from a polyurethane polymer. It is a competitor to the natural material latex.
Radioactivity was first discovered in Paris, France. It was discovered by a French physicist by the name of Henri Becquerel.
Helium was first discovered as a component of the sun before being discovered on earth. Hence the name.
I think the chemical name for fiber is polyolefin. I could be wrong though.
It was discovered in1789 by an explorer going to the north pole his name was Herber Shirley
