Regenerated Man-Made Fibre
Fibres whose
chemical composition,
structure and properties are
significantly modified
during the manufacturing
process. Man made fibres are
spun and woven into a huge
number of consumer and
industrial products, including
garments such as shirts,
scarves and hosiery; home
furnishing such as upholstery,
Regenerated man made

fibre from nitrocellulose and it was named
Rayon.
In 1890, l .H. Despaisses of France

making Rayon.
Although it was not economically

in the spinning techniques developed in
Germany resulted in Successful commercial
production there in 1919.
Its manufacturing was discontinued in
