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?
