The first synthetic fiber made by man was nylon. It was created in the 1930s by a team of chemists at DuPont led by Wallace Carothers. Nylon was initially used as a replacement for silk in products such as stockings, but its versatility has since made it popular in a wide range of applications.
What else can I help you with?
Is Nylon is a synthetic fiber or artificial fiber?
Yes, the formula is nHOOC-(CH2)4-COOH+n H2N-(CH2)6-NH2---->[-OC-( CH2)4-CO-NH-(CH2)6-NH-] n+2nH2O and you put two chemiclas on top of each other - they float like oil and water - and where they join is where the nylon is formed. You pull it out with a needle or pin.
How can you tell if an element is man-made or synthetic?
Man-made elements are created by humans through nuclear reactions, while synthetic elements are created in a laboratory by combining natural elements. The presence of man-made elements on Earth is a result of nuclear testing or accidents. Synthetic elements are not found naturally on Earth and must be produced in a controlled environment.

Is spandex a natural fabric?
No, spandex is a synthetic fibre. Or 'man made'.
What is an example of a synthetic fibre?
Nylon is an example of a synthetic fiber. It is made from petrochemicals and is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wrinkles and abrasion. Nylon is commonly used in textiles, ropes, and industrial applications.
Is wool natural fibres and synthetic fibres?
Wool is a natural fiber obtained from animals such as sheep, goats, and alpacas. It is not a synthetic fiber, which is man-made from chemical compounds.
What is the difference between spun yarn and synthetic yarn?
Any fibre, regardless of the source -- natural or man-made, can be spun. Synthetic yarn contains no natural fibres.
How can you identify a natural and synthetic fiber?
natural fibres are like 1st hand things (i know doesn't make sense, i know)... natural fibres like wool come straight of a sheep coat or linen comes from a specific plant... manufactured fibres are like materials made out of a natural fibre like acrylic which is made from wool...they are like 2nd hand things... hope this makes sense _______________________________________________________________ Natural Fibres come from plants, animals and minerals. Manufactured Fibres come from scientific processes and can't be found in nature. (Man-Made)
Do natural fibers decompose faster than synthetic fibers?
natural fibres decompose faster than man made fibres because latter is a synthetic fiber. synthetic fibre has a plastiy smell. any thing made of plastic will not degrade.
Is synthetic man made or natural?
Synthetic is man made.
Is polyester cotton?
No, cotton is a natural fibre made from the cotton plant, and polyester is a man-made synthetic fabric which is a petroleum-by-product.
