Make Synthetic
Fiber

Introduction:
For many years
wool and cotton have been the only sources of fiber for
people to make fabric, clothes, carpets and strings. In
the early 1900 the first synthetic fibers were made.
Some of these synthetic fibers were actually made using
natural cellulose fiber. |
 |
Short cellulose fibers can not be
used in textile, so scientists came up with the idea of
dissolving short cellulose fibers and reproducing long synthetic
fibers. Another benefit of this process is creating fiber
filaments that are smooth like silk and not fuzzy like natural
cotton. |

Project
description:
In this project you will experiment making synthetic fibers. You
will also demonstrate and report how early synthetic fibers were
made. Do you think that all cellulose based materials such
as wood and paper can be converted to synthetic fiber? |
