  • Question
  • Which of the following is a regenerated fibre?


  • Options
  • A. Terylene
  • B. Rayon
  • C. Nylon
  • D. Silk

  • Correct Answer
  • Rayon 

    Explanation

    Terylene and nylon are synthetic fibres produced by a process of polymerisation. Terylene is a polyester and nylon, a poyamide.

    Silk is purely a natural product obtained from silk worms.

    Rayon is a man-made material which consists of purified cellulose in the form of long fibres. Cellulose occurs in the cell wall of plants. Rayon fibre is chemically identical to cotton but has a shine like silk. Since it is  basically derived from a natural source (cellulose) it is called a regenerated fibre.
