Do you know how various synthetic fibres are obtained ? |
|
Answer» Nylon: Nylon is a polymer made of chemical units called polyamides which contain carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Polyamides are melted and forced through a heated spinneret which has very, very tiny holes. The size and shape of the holes changes, the characteristics of the resulting fibre. The fibre solidifies as it cool and can be spun or woven. Rayon: The cellulose that was collected from wood or bamboo pulp, is treated with several chemicals. First sodium hydroxide is added and then carbon disulphide to the cellulose. The cellulose dissolves in chemicals add to it and gives a syrup called viscose. Viscose is forced through a spinneret, into a solution of dilute sulphuric acid. This gives us silk like threads. The threads are cleaned with soap and dried. This new fibre is called rayon. Acrylic: It is made from the combination of coal, air, water, oil and limestone. It is spun by either dry spinning or wet spinning. In dry spinning the dissolved polymers are extruded into warm air. The fibres solidify by evaporation. In wet spinning the polymers are dissolved and extruded into a bath and then dried. |
