Manufactured Fibers

Manufactured fibers surround you and everything. They are incorporated with your clothing furniture, basically everywhere you go. Rayon was the first to be to produce fibers. It was followed by the acetate. These fibers, along with triacetate and lyocell, are made from cellulose, the fibrous substance in plant life. Combing molecules of nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon makes most other manufactured fibers. New manufactured fibers are being developed through research efforts all the time. The raw material and chemicals used to make manufactured fibers can vary. They all go through the same basics before they become fibers. Although there are many ways to modify manufactured fibers, each kind of fiber has some typical characteristics. There are other manufactured fibers, but these are used more for specialized protective clothing.
