Solution
Synthetic fibre:
Synthetic fibres are known as those fibers which are artificially synthesized by humans within the industries.
In other words, Synthetic fabrics and textiles are made from man-made rather than natural fibers.
In this, the polymers are designed to make fabrics by the application of simple chemicals.
Examples include : Rayon, Nylon, Acrylic, Polyester, and Acetate.
First fully Synthetic fibre :
Nylon is known as the first fully synthetic fibre, which is also the strongest synthetic fibre.
Nylon is termed as a chemical polyamide polymer, which can be moulded into any shape.
The ingredients which are used to synthesize the most common nylon are Adipic acid and Hexamethylenediamine, each containing six carbon atoms, for which the product is named Nylon-6,6.
The reaction for the above reaction can be shown as:
Hence, the name of the first fully synthetic fiber is Nylon and its ingredients are Adipic acid and Hexamethylenediamine.
